July 2024 – Pickering Interfaces will showcase its range of industry-standard modular signal switching & simulation products for electronic test & verification – including a model turbojet engine switching and simulation demo – on stand N303 in the Saturn Ballroom at the Space & Missile Defense (SMD) Symposium 2024, taking place from August 6th to 8th, at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama, USA.
The Space & Missile Defense (SMD) Symposium brings together top government and industry leaders to deliver the leading educational, professional development, and networking event in the space and missile defense community. This year’s theme is ‘Space & IAMD (Integrated Air & Missile Defense): Keys to Victory in Contested Domain Environments’. Widely attended by leaders and professionals from the US and its allies around the world, the SMD Symposium attracts over 6,000 attendees and connects them to over 250 exhibiting organizations showcasing technology and products. Huntsville, Alabama, is home to over 70 Federal entities on the Redstone Arsenal US Army base – while neighboring Cummings Research Park is the second largest research park in the country and one of the world’s leading science and technology business parks, with a mixture of Fortune 500 companies, local and international high-tech enterprises, and US space and defense agencies.
“At Pickering, we know that space and defense industry electronics engineers have unique testing needs driven by demanding requirements around long operating life, high reliability, and hostile environmental conditions,” said Steve Edwards, Product Manager at Pickering. “Our modular products are based on familiar open industry standards that ensure long-term availability, shorten development time, and ultimately speed time-to-market. With expert-level knowledge in architecting switching and simulation systems, we help our customers achieve their test objectives efficiently and deliver products with intuitive tools to enhance development teams’ design efforts and productivity. The result is scalable COTS test systems that can be optimized to meet their needs today and in the future.”
Pickering will showcase the following switching and simulation products, solutions and demos for aerospace applications on stand N303 at the SMD Symposium 2024:
