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.

High data throughput and innovative thermal management may lead to a revolution in systems design that places the burden of electronics cooling on the enclosure more than on the card.

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.

Ivan Straznicky talks about the challenges of keeping rugged computer systems designed for military programs cool under harsh conditions as they grow more powerful and more complex.

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