NEWS RELEASE – April 26, 2005 – National Instruments is hosting the Military and Aerospace Solutions Conference, a series of free seminars in major U.S. cities featuring technical demonstrations and case studies of the latest technologies for electronic test, structural test and control design for military and aerospace applications. These seminars explore how virtual instrumentation delivers open, flexible frameworks through platforms such as PXI and LabVIEW FPGA to help engineers take advantage of the rapid evolution of commercially available technology with minimal disruption.Engineers in the military, government and aerospace arenas face a unique set of demands, such as the management of maintenance costs and technology insertion over long project life cycles.
At the Military and Aerospace Solutions Conference, engineers meet with key players in the industry to discuss solutions that meet these demands. Conference attendees gain insight into emerging industry trends and see the latest technologies in action. Technical sessions include extending aerospace system life with virtual instrumentation, adopting long-term programming languages that evolve independently of operating systems, implementing technologies for reliable test and real-time control and exploring the role of graphical development tools for designing reconfigurable FPGA hardware.
In addition, engineers in the military and aerospace industry present examples of using NI software and PXI hardware for creating systems for communications, avionics and missile test, as well as control systems for autonomous vehicles.
