Connecting Systems
The rapidly advancing communication industry is bringing new opportunities for the optimal connection and integration of systems that require close functional coupling.
This seminar looks at some of these new connection methods and how they enhance 'the system of systems' performance and operation. The technologies involved in these connection methods are considered in terms of robustness in the common environments experienced in the aerospace industry, together with the predicted longevity in a sector dogged with obsolescence problems.
Attending this event will help you:
- Reduce economic costs throughout the system lifecycle
- Ease constraints on system design
- Focus research and technology activities towards the increasing system interconnection complexity
- Network with key industry players
