The focus on buy-to-fly ratios highlights the contributing role that near net shape processing can offer. This has undoubtedly been a driver in increasing this service offering from AMA. As a major contributor in the aircraft manufacturing supply chain, this is a key area of development for AMA and its companies. Customers are increasingly looking to optimise their production processes. This is primarily driven by the need to maximise their own spindle time for core business activities, with AMA therefore undertaking some of the machining processes. It can take many forms, from simple cutting to more intricate processing in which near net shape pieces are supplied. Even in AMA businesses whose business is predominantly transactional (so called ‘spot business’) rather than contractual, the processing element is increasing. Pre-machined kits of parts to individual specifications are becoming more commonplace. In addition to freeing up time for customers and OEMs to focus on more profitable final processing, near net shape processes can improve product quality, reduce variability and enhance component design functionality. As the industry continues to search for ways to lower buy-to-fly ratios and reduce the amount of waste, near net shape processing will have a greater role to play.

THE FUTURE OF FIGHTER JETS

With a 99% win-rate in simulated F-16 dogfights versus active-duty Air Force and Navy fighter pilots, Hivemind is learning to execute a variety of missions from Beyond Visual Range strike to suppression of enemy air defense. The future of air dominance will be powered and flown by Hivemind.

It Starts With The F-16

Hivemind will deploy as a digital co-pilot on a U.S. Air Force F-16, with the goal of rapidly scaling across next-generation aircraft, F-22s, F-18s, and other fighter jets. Hivemind will make legacy fighters relevant for decades to come and will power the next generation of military aircraft.

From precise control of various optical components(laser/detector/amplifier) & laser beam alignment(QD/FSM), a data rate of 10G can be achieved over distances of several thousand kilometers.

The ENM2000 is a vehicle-mounted mmWave base station integrating CU/DU/RU, working in conjunction with the EPNR4000, 5G Core, and application server. It enables ultra-broadband data communication that Sub-6GHz base stations cannot provide.

A VGA (640×480) LWIR (8–12 µm) uncooled micro-bolometer module with 12 µm pixel pitch and NETD ≤ 50 mK, paired with an F1.0, 10.7 mm EFL lens delivering H42° / V31.5° / D52.5° FOV. It streams at 30 Hz in either UVC (USB-C, 5 V) or GMSL1 (FAKRA, 12 V), with power consumption < 1.9 W. The compact, lightweight housing (30×30×58.9 mm for UVC; 30×30×70.9 mm with FAKRA for GMSL1; IP65; −40 °C to 85 °C) makes it well-suited for autonomous vehicles, UAVs, and security systems, providing reliable day/night thermal perception of pedestrians, animals, and objects in adverse weather.

ts advanced integrated optics and closed-loop Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) electronics deliver much higher accuracy, lower noise and greater efficiency than competing technologies. In addition, the EG-1300 can be calibrated internally for better thermal effect and has both digital and analog outputs, along with separation of the electronics from the FOG’s sensing coil assembly to accommodate the widest variety of installation parameters.
