SAN JOSE, CA – The US market for electronic warfare systems is projected to exceed $1.4 billion by 2015, says Global Industry Analysts Inc.
The US is expected to upgrade its aging fleet of combat helicopter and tactical combat-aircraft, which would automatically increase the demand for advanced EW self-protection devices.
Since systems upgrades and modernization programs are less expensive than overall platform replacement, technological advancements are expected to play a key role for enhancing existing systems, according to GIA.
The US defense electronics market is projected to increase significantly, with defense electronics projects and extensive R&D programs expected to be the key drivers.
The industry is forecast to witness huge orders, owing to increasing focus of militaries on EW around the globe. Defense equipment manufacturers are expected to produce thousands of EW systems, such as electronic countermeasure systems, electronic support measure systems, and radar warning receivers. The production rate is expected to rise significantly over a period of 10 years, driven by the increased demand from military forces and the increasing danger across the global waterways.
SAN JOSE – Worldwide sales of semiconductors in May were $24.7 billion, up 47.6% year-over-year, and up 4.5% sequentially.
TAIPEI -- Foxconn Electronics will spend some $300 million toward acquisitions and investments in component-related businesses, according to published reports.
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Aqueous Technologies customers will receive a free Zero-Ion ROSE tester or ultrasonic stencil cleaner with the purchase of a Trident-CL during the month of July, the firm says.
Trident-CL is a closed-loop, zero-discharge fully automatic defluxer and cleanliness tester.
The Zero-Ion ROSE tester is designed to test electronics assemblies for ionic contamination. It automatically removes and detects contamination on an electrical assembly or bare board and provides quantitative contamination measurements.
Ultrasonic stencil cleaners use sound waves to remove unreflowed solder paste and uncured adhesives from stencils, screens and misprints.
SAN FRANCISCO – The Solar Engineering & Manufacturing Association will hold its first general meeting here July 15.
The meeting will take place at the San Francisco Omni Hotel.
SEMA was established June 10 at Flextronics’ campus in Milpitas, CA, as an educational, technical and professional association serving the solar manufacturing and related industries.
“On the basis of a very successful first meeting, we are now inviting all stakeholders in the industry to participate and help establish SEMA as a member-driven professional organization that will help propel solar energy to the forefront. We want SEMA to be regarded as an indispensible resource for professionals around the world, including key stakeholders in research, manufacturing, academia and government,” said Matthew Holzmann, president of Christopher Associates, one of the founding members.
