The Latest in Defense Technology

Aug. 16, 2020
In this Media Gallery, we present some of the latest products for the defense industry. All are tough enough to withstand the rigors of temperature extremes, high vibration, and other harsh conditions.

As geopolitical tensions and conflicts flare up around the globe, manufacturers have ramped up their R&D initiatives to incorporate the latest tech into hardware for defense applications. Unlike commercial technology, military and defense platforms must comply with specific certifications and standards in order to withstand harsh environments, including those with excessive temperatures, vibration, radiation, and more. In this media gallery, we’ll explore some of the latest FPGAs, computer systems, enclosures, and other devices to surface this year for defense applications.
