Large Scale Experimental Research

Large scale scientific research experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN require highly advanced leading edge Instrumentation and CODAC (Control & Data Acquisition) technologies. Leveraging the open and flexible, modular and open-platforms from NI allows the world’s scientists to progress human discovery through leading edge science.

Software-Defined-Radio to combat Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

As UAVs change the playing field of modern warfare, software-defined-radios enable open and flexible open-source solutions using COTS technologies to keep up with this emerging threat.

Electronic Scanned Array Characterization

Electronics scanned array (ESA) are the technology bedrock of modern RF radar and communication systems.

Hardware-in-the-Loop for simulating Power Systems as part of the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) initiative

As modern aircraft design workflows integrate multiple engineering domains & as electrification of aircraft emerges – FPGA-based hardware-in-the-loop simulation enables a sophisticated solution for simulating power subsystems.

Aircraft Component Structural Testing

Physical testing of structural components and systems is a critical component of the modern Aviation Industry. High channel count data-acquisition systems capable of making mixed-signal measurements together with strain, vibration and load are crucial to these tests.
