How the U.S. Space Force is Rethinking Electronic Component Procurement and Design
As the U.S. Space Force builds its testing and training enterprise, one outcome will be that new satellites and sensors are to be assessed in realistic simulated environments to develop familiarity and test for quality. This means that electronic components will be necessary in both physical and virtual environments—physical to build the models and testing environment as well as the NSTTC itself, and virtual for training engineers and operators to become intricately familiar with parts’ potential structural changes within a virtual environment.

Rapid Growth of Electronic Warfare (EW) to Drive Increased Demand for Military Electronic Components
Recent advancements in defense technology have driven an increased demand for military electronic components. In fact, there’s been a notable uptick in the electronic warfare market over the last decade. And, estimates show that, by 2030, the global market will grow from about $9 billion to roughly $28 billion in annual expenditures. These figures represent a nearly 50% rise in spending, and this does not include the coinciding investments in R&D. Read the post here.

Generative AI Taking Off In The Aerospace Industry
With more than 100 million users, ChatGPT may be one of the highest-profile examples of recent AI technology – but it is just one of many in a larger generative AI movement. Generative AI applies Natural Language Processing (NLP) to Large Language Models (LLMs) so people can use simple prompts to create word, image, video, and even music responses from an infinite repository of data.
And there’s a major component of generative AI that gets lost in translation: processing huge amounts of data quickly and without coding. The applications for generative AI in the aerospace industry are immense; as SpaceNews predicts, “We will likely see more impact from these new models in the next 1-3 years than in the last 10 combined.” Read the post here.

Electronics Supply Chain Outlook for 2023
After the COVID-19 pandemic upended the market for electronic components, 2022 saw uneven recovery across industries, component types, and geographic regions. The environment remained delicate into early 2023, but supply constraints began to ease alongside a softening of demand in some industries. In this post, we covered what we predicted we’d see from the market in 2023. Read the post here.

2023 semiconductor M&A Activity Intensifies
In early 2023, semiconductor manufacturers increasingly turned to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to enhance their capabilities, expand their market share, and gain access to crucial resources. Semiconductor M&A activity painted a vivid picture of the priorities, trajectory, and concerns of semiconductor companies in their efforts to overcome the previous year’s global chip shortages.
