Week 2, done!

The Dream Marketing Defence & Aerospace Roadshow has come to the end of its second week on the road, and it’s been a pretty good one for the Sarsen team.

QinetiQ, GE Aviation, Cobham Mission Systems and General Dynamics have all played host to the Dream Marketing vehicle, and we’ve come away with some great follow ups to do next week.


Tim, Robbie and Nigel have spent the last 2 weeks discussing the very latest embedded COTS FPGA, PowerPC, ARM, Intel, video processing, high-speed data recording, data acquisition and test technology solutions with visitors to the Roadshow, and are looking forward to sharing even more next week, when they travel to BAE and Airbus, Rolls Royce, L3 Comms, Agusta Westland and Yeovil College.

If you are at any of the sites next week and want to find out more about the Roadshow and how it might be of interest to you please drop me an email – LauraB@sarsen.net and I’ll give you all the inside information….

Have a great weekend!

European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow 2009 - Day 15

Day 15 of the roadshow was a second busy, but shorter, day at QinetiQ at Boscombe Down. We had a number of discussions with the QinetiQ project teams on solutions from BittWare, Oxygen Electronics, Trenton Technology and VersaLogic. This was the last stop on the roadshow for a number of new friends from participating exhibitors. The photo above is of Michelle from Qualitetch and Steve from Cinch. The roadshow continues next week and visits EADS in Newport on Monday 12th October.

European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow 2009 - Day 14

Day 14 of the roadshow took us to QinetiQ at Boscombe Down near Salisbury. The heavy rain had finally stopped. Steve from Cinch pointed out that it was still summer when the roadshow had started and now it was definately autumn. This site is just 20 miles from the Sarsen Technology office and the roadshow was very busy from the moment it opened. We had a number of good conversations with the QinetiQ engineering teams and the sarsen stress rock giveaways were all handed out by 10.30am. More sarsen stones are being mined this evening for tomorrow's roadshow at QinetiQ - Boscombe Down from 9.30am until midday.

European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow 2009 - Day 13

Very familiar ground for Sarsen Technology when the roadshow visited Thales Underwater Systems in Templecombe, Somerset today. Despite the heavy rain, the visitor numbers were very good and Sarsen Technology met with a good number of the Thales team. There are a number of good new project opportunities for the technologies exhibited by Sarsen and everyone participating in the roadshow seemed to have a very busy and productive day. Just two more days of the 15 to go! Tomorrow the European Defence & Aerospace Manufacturing Technology Roadshow visits QinetiQ in Boscombe Down.
