Aerospace and Defense

Aerospace and defense technology is increasing in complexity while having to meet strict quality and accuracy demands. Engineers need smarter solutions to address both the rapid pace of RF innovations and the need to support legacy programs.

Advantages of the NI Approach

Reduced Cost of Test

You can reduce the cost of test for even high-bandwidth and processor-intensive aerospace applications with the high-performance and low-cost NI PXI platform.

More Accurate Measurements

NI provides industry-leading performance and accuracy with best-in-class synchronization for large systems, so you can get to the right decision faster.

Rugged Design

NI hardware can meet the demanding environmental and compliance requirements that can be vital to defense projects.

Applications

Engineers can create full aircraft simulations using multiple real-time networked PXI systems.

HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP (HIL) SIMULATION

Cost, availability, and safety make testing aerospace and defense systems in real-world settings impractical. HIL simulation can virtually test embedded technologies like single-board computers and electronic chassis.

SPECTRUM MONITORING AND SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE

Modern spectrum monitoring and signal intelligence systems can capture, process, and record wide signal bandwidths at a broad range of frequencies. Engineers need flexible software to adapt these systems to new signal types and threats.

Choose NI modular instrumentation to design flexible test systems for your aerospace and defense automated electronics test applicaion needs.

AUTOMATED AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE TEST

Engineers must create aerospace and defense test systems that can scale to avoid obsolescence events and support technology updates. This approach ensures test systems that last for decades.
