Awards are in three tiers -- ranging from platinum, the highest, to the gold awards, and finally to the silver awards.

A re-evaluation of hypersonic weapons and vehicles is prompting investment and innovation in test instrumentation and data acquisition.

A proposed Extensible SOQPSK modulation waveform brings the best of both OFDM modulation and single-carrier SOQPSK modulation to telemetry applications.

Avionics technicians make use of oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other high-performance test and measurement instruments to ensure that sensitive RF and microwave systems are working properly.

The tools used to acquire, store and transmit flight test data – flight test instrumentation (FTI), data acquisition networks and telemetry – are a vital part of the aerospace sector. These tools require a high level of maturity because they must be reliable and accurate.

Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is having an influence on military logistics, and helps supply personnel get replacement parts where and when they’re needed — even on the front lines.

Real-time monitoring during test flights demands FTI equipment that provides highly accurate, comprehensive data, which means that engineers adhere to specific design parameters.

New commercial and military aircraft production is preceded by extensive flight tests to prove the performance of the aircraft and its sub-systems.
