BAE Systems to advance integrated circuit technology for the space industry

WASHINGTON - BAE Systems has been selected by the Department of Defense (DoD) to qualify a new generation of integrated circuit technology for use in the harsh environment of space. The new 12 nanometer technology uses a smaller feature size that provides a leap forward in space-based computing compared to current 45 nanometer technology.

“This selection makes BAE Systems the premier radiation-hardened integrated circuit supplier for space customers,” said Ricardo Gonzalez, director of Space Systems at BAE Systems. “Moving from a 45 nanometer design to a 12 nanometer design enables more transistors to fit on each chip at reduced power consumption per operation, which increases functionality – an important factor in space vehicles, where volume and power are limited resources.”

Learn about security and the DevSecOps platform

Now available for on demand viewing with bonus DevSecOps whitepaper for reference!

NASHUA, N.H. - DevSecOps - short for development, security, and operations - is the convergence of IT operations, software development and delivery, and security.

DevOps is enabling faster deployment of more secure software to devices by tightly coupling development and operations functions. However, to ensure security, the DevOps pipeline itself must be secure. At the intelligent edge, mission-critical systems require that security is built into the development process for a true DevSecOps environment.

Only 8% of organizations have secured at least 75% of their cloud-native apps using DevSecOps (Enterprise Strategy Group).

This webinar covers new security approaches for the emerging intelligent edge; methods for full lifecycle security for mission-critical systems; must-have development tools for security validation; and lessons learned in the journey to build security into a DevSecOps environment.

This on-demand webcast is presented by Arlen Baker, the principal security architect at Wind River Systems, based in Alameda Calif., and hosted by Military & Aerospace Electronics' editor-in-chief John Keller. Click below to register and learn more about this crucial topic!
