NASHUA, N.H. – Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace are kicking off the 2020 Innovators Awards program to recognize companies in the aerospace and defense electronics industry for technological innovations that solve defense and aerospace electronics design challenges with real solutions.
The Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace Technology Innovation Awards will call-out developers of the most influential enabling technologies for aerospace and defense applications. Enabling technologies are developed or discovered that actually solve design problems. Often these enabling technology solutions solve problems for which there was no known solution before, or which were particularly difficult.
Categories are command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR); trusted computing; electro-optics; embedded computing; interconnect technology; power electronics; RF & microwave; software; and test & measurement.
Nominations for design solutions in the Innovation Awards can represent simple or complex solutions, or anything in-between. Nominations should state the design challenge, describe the innovative technology, and explain how the technology solved a design problem.
Technologies don't have to be new products; they can have been developed over the past several years, and are in contemporary designs no more than a couple of years old.
We understand that in the aerospace and defense business you can't always call out your customer by name, or by specific project. Instead, we can talk about technology challenges and technology solutions somewhat a generic sense, rather than challenges and solutions for specific programs.
Aerospace and defense electronics suppliers are urged to nominate their customers, and systems integrators are urged to nominate their suppliers. The awards process has not specific categories, as long as innovative technologies nominated represent true design solutions.
Defense electronics suppliers can nominate themselves, and we are encouraging customers of electronics suppliers at the prime contract, and subcontractor levels to nominate their customers for recognition in the Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace Technology Innovation Awards.
Military & Aerospace Electronics and Intelligent Aerospace 2020 Innovators Awards will go to organizations that demonstrate excellence in the use of a product or system. Designers, integrators, and users of military and aerospace electronic systems may nominate their own projects or applications, or integrators or distributors that supply products or systems can nominate exceptional projects for consideration.
Awards will be presented as early as July 2020, and the deadline for nominations is 12 June 2020.
