The Defence & Aerospace Technology Road Show will be at SELEX Galileo at Capability Green in Luton on Monday 13th September. This was a busy location for the road show last year and Nigel looks forward to meeting with a number of key contacts at the site to discuss the latest FPGA and Intel i7 VPX & XMC COTS solutions we have to offer.

Defence & Aerospace Road Show 2010 - Day One



The turn out for the Defence & Aerospace Road Show at SELEX Galileo in Basildon was good and Nigel met with a number of the engineering and management team. The Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) Intel i7 VPX format board solutions was the product area of most interest.

Nigel also met an old collegue from his design engineering days at GEC-Marconi in Frimley that he had not seen for 26 years!

Interesting Post - Trends in Microprocessors - High-end Military Applications Are Beginning To Shift To Intel

An interesting post from John Keller published on Miltary & Aerospace Electronics web site discusses the processor trends in the defence market place. "When it comes to military embedded computing, basically only two microprocessor manufacturers slug it out for the lion’s share of the defense and aerospace embedded computer market for applications like radar processing. While Freescale has been this market’s 500-pound gorilla for some time, Intel’s latest introduction of its Core i7 microprocessor in January is tipping the defense embedded systems community on its head in a transformation the likes of which seasoned observers have not seen in years."

BittWare Visitors from the USA and Germany







Chad Hamilton and Burkhard Jour of BittWare visited the Sarsen Technology offices in Marlborough Wiltshire this month. We met with some key clients and had new product training meetings whilst Chad & Burkhard were with us. We also found some time for a visit to Silbury Hill and the Avebury henge which are just five miles from our Marlborough office. Sarsen Technology gets it's name from the Sarsen stones to be found at Avebury and Stonehenge. Please click on the photos above for a larger image.
