Let's take a look back at how Boeing is enhancing LLVM coverage tools in collaboration with UIUC and the open-source community to improve llvm-cov, aiming to meet DO-178C certification requirements for safety-critical avionics applications. This discussion will be led by Andrew Oppelt, a Real-Time Software Engineer at The Boeing Company, who specializes in real-time and safety-critical applications.

In military avionics, rubber gaskets can seem trivial compared to the role played by sensors, optics, and displays – until electromagnetic interference (EMI) disrupts performance. #avionics #aircraft #aerospace #military #defense #emi #emigaskets #emishielding

Why did they do it? Was it price? Quality? Delivery? Lack of local sources? The are paying the price now! Support the PCBAA to help prevent future situations of this nature. The U.S. State Department just revealed that Raytheon Technologies will pay a $200 million fine for violating the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The aerospace and defense company failed to properly classify and control defense articles, including sensitive items, while sharing data and products with embargoed countries like China. These violations largely involved Rockwell Collins, a company acquired by United Technologies (now RTX) in 2018. Before the acquisition, Rockwell Collins used Chinese suppliers to manufacture printed circuit boards (PCBs) for various U.S. military aircraft, sending U.S. technical data to China. These PCBs were later supplied to the Pentagon and other defense contractors for use in nearly 20 military aircraft, including Air Force One, the B-1B bomber, U-2 spy plane, B-52 bomber, F-16, F-15, A-10, and F/A-18 fighter jets.

Interesting Autonomous car behavior. You'd think that GNSS would at least inform the car of what lane they are in and direction of traffic, while the camera/lidar would determine that all the other cars are pointed the other direction...

The IEEE EPS - IEEE Electronics Packaging Society is organizing the IEEE Hybrid Bonding Symposium - Enabling Hybrid Bonding Commercialization on 16-17 January 2025 at the SEMI HQ in Milpitas, CA! See the prelimary agenda at https://lnkd.in/gRrUauZX Hybrid Bonding has emerged as the technology of choice in the semiconductor and heterogeneous integration industries for ultra-fine-pitch interconnection. With significant benefits for interconnect density and device performance, it will become widely adopted for a broad range of high-performance semiconductor devices in the years to come. The success of Hybrid Bonding technology for high-volume manufacturing depends critically on the process technology as well as materials and equipment. Design, performance characterization, thermal management and reliability are also important considerations to enable applications in various areas. Registration is now open: https://lnkd.in/gh4n6GEV SIGN UP TODAY!

It's beyond me why Congress sends billions overseas to friend and foe alike, but does not approve $45 million for printed circuit manufacturing under the Defense Production Act which is less than the total cost of a single substrate factory to produce Ultra High Density Interconnection PCBs. These are the required platforms for the packaging of semiconductors needed for defense, medical and AI applications. The lack of federal support to regenerate and advance this capability leaves the US. primarily dependent on facilities in Asia. Fortunately, TSMC and Amkor are teaming up to provide the complete process from chip to tested package in Arizona. This will help, but not provide adequate service for all the other chip makers investing in the U.S. that will still have to ship most of their ICs back to Asia for packaging. The U.S. needs to provide better incentives to stimulate domestic investment in the supply chain for the domestic production advanced electronic packages. The U.S. Dept. of Defense (DoD) announced an award of $30 million to TTM Technologies to ramp up U.S.-based production of ultra-high density (U-HDI) printed circuit boards (PCBs) at a facility being developed in Syracuse, NY. TTM is expected to invest up to $130 million for the new facility and create an additional 400 “good paying” jobs, bringing the company’s Central New York workforce to 1,000, according to the the office of New York Governor Kathy Hochul. From the IPC: Action Alert! Help IPC Secure U.S. Defense Electronics Funding: IPC is calling on you to take immediate action to support legislation that strengthens U.S. defense electronics manufacturing. As Congress finalizes government funding for Fiscal Year 2025, the Senate’s version includes $45 million for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing under the Defense Production Act (DPA) account. However, unless the House follows suit, this funding could drop to zero, leaving the U.S. dependent on non-domestic sources of the PCBs that power all defense electronics.

Radar: The Backbone of All-Weather Performance Radar doesn’t compete with LiDAR—it complements it, excelling where other sensors fall short. Trusted in mission-critical applications like defense, aviation, and marine, radar stands out for its ability to deliver reliable, accurate data in extreme conditions. Unlike LiDAR, which struggles with fog, rain, or snow, radar’s longer-wavelength radio waves cut through environmental challenges with ease. This ensures consistent detection, making it the go-to solution when safety and precision can’t be compromised. For industries that demand performance in any weather, radar is the clear choice.
