What is a digital twin? Hint– it's not your tech-savvy sibling. A digital twin is a virtual counterpart that mirrors real-world objects in real time. In our new blog, Robert Proctor explores the two main definitions of digital twins and how RTI Connext enables seamless data integration for innovation in aerospace, defense, and medical fields. 🌐 Read here: https://lnkd.in/ehtkHr6e

From the nose to the tail, we’ve got you covered on aerospace part marking. We understand the unique demands of the aerospace industry – increasing regulatory requirements, including permanent, legible UID numbers, serial numbers, DOD-specific 2D codes, and part numbers.

Reflective optics in aerospace and defense applications operate in some of the most extreme environments possible. Components must have excellent thermal management capabilities – without adding weight or limiting performance. At the @SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing Show, April 21-25, we’ll be there to discuss how our advanced materials address those issues and solve design challenges. Talk to us in booth 630, or go to our website to see how we’re enabling sensing application innovation: https://bit.ly/2Bbdrpy #spiedcs #thermalmanagement #advancedmaterials #EnablingWhatsNext

Nammo AS - current providers of solid rocket motors for AMRAAM, Sidewinder and Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile, and Raytheon, an RTX business, signed an agreement to support the expansion of Nammo’s Perry, Florida site. This planned expansion introduces new manufacturing lines to increase production of critical solid rocket motors in the United States. Through this agreement, Nammo and Raytheon ensure another reliable and independent domestic source of rocket motors for its current and future weapon systems. Nammo has demonstrated its capabilities in solid rocket motor propulsion development and production since the 1960s. Nammo has produced rocket motors for several weapon systems and has delivered over 35,000 for the Sidewinder program alone.

It's remarkable to see start ups such as Castelion competing with the likes of Raytheon (RTX), Lockheed, and Northrop in the Advanced Weapons and Hypersonics domain. The amount of time and investment that is required for R&D, design, test, and manufacture of these next-gen weapons systems can be a towering barrier to entry, but they have been able to not only overcome those challenges, but excel. Companies such as Boom Supersonic, Rocket Labs, Stratolaunch, and Castelion are truly at the cutting edge of aerospace. #aerospace #defense

🚀 Exciting Breakthrough in Hypersonic Tech! 🌐✈️ Castelion, a startup focused on hypersonic weaponry, just conducted its first successful test flight of a low-cost hypersonic test platform. Bryon Hargis, Castelion's CEO, sees this as a major milestone, showcasing their rapid development approach. The U.S. is in a fierce hypersonic arms race, with companies like Castelion, RTX's Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin vying for contracts. Castelion, backed by $14.2 million in funding, aims to design a complete hypersonic weapons system. With successful tests and contracts from the U.S. Air Force and Navy, Castelion is a rising player in the rapidly evolving realm of hypersonic technology. 🚀🛡️ #HypersonicTech #DefenseInnovation #MilitaryAdvancements #AUKUS🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 https://lnkd.in/gMe7GFPv

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭:𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 Infrared Search and Track (IRST) is a technology used in military and #aerospace applications for detecting and tracking airborne targets, particularly aircraft and missiles, based on their infrared emissions. IRST systems consist of sensors capable of detecting heat signatures emitted by airborne objects, even in the absence of active radar or other #electronic emissions. By passively detecting thermal radiation emitted by targets, IRST systems offer several advantages, including stealth operation, resistance to electronic countermeasures, and the ability to track targets without emitting signals that could reveal the platform's position. IRST technology enhances situational awareness and provides valuable targeting information to military aircraft, enabling them to detect and engage threats more effectively, particularly in complex and dynamic combat environments.
