NASHUA, N.H. - Military + Aerospace Electronics cordially invites you to learn about the latest advances in radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant electronics during the webinar, "Engineering for Extreme Environments: The Future of Radiation-Hardened Electronics," on 8 July 2026 at 2 p.m. Eastern. This event is sponsored by Magics Technologies in Antwerp, Belgium.

Radiation remains one of the most significant challenges facing aerospace and defense electronics. From satellites and deep-space missions to missile defense systems, directed-energy platforms, and high-altitude applications, engineers must design systems capable of surviving total ionizing dose (TID), single-event effects (SEE), displacement damage, and other radiation-induced failures that can degrade performance or disable mission-critical equipment.

As military and commercial space missions become increasingly ambitious and operational lifetimes continue to grow, demand for robust radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant technologies is rising. This webinar will examine the latest advances in radiation-resilient semiconductors, system-on-chip architectures, embedded computing technologies, packaging innovations, and system-level mitigation strategies designed to ensure reliable operation in harsh radiation environments.

Discussion topics will include radiation-hard-by-design methodologies, radiation-tolerant architectures, approaches for mitigating single-event upsets and latch-up events, fault-tolerant system design, reliability verification, and qualification testing. The webinar will also explore how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-performance embedded computing, power electronics, and wide-bandgap semiconductors are being adapted for operation in radiation-intensive environments while meeting stringent aerospace and defense requirements.

Featured speakers include Jens Verbeeck, CEO and co-founder of Magics Technologies; Kenneth A. LaBel, subject matter expert in space and military microelectronics at Trusted Strategic Solutions LLC; and Minh Nguyen, senior technical staff engineer for FPGA product marketing at Microchip Technology.

Verbeeck leads Magics Technologies, a fabless semiconductor company developing highly integrated system-on-chip solutions for space, nuclear, and defense applications. His work focuses on leveraging standard CMOS technologies to create resilient electronics that operate in extreme environments while reducing system complexity and cost.

LaBel brings more than 40 years of experience supporting NASA and other government organizations in the fields of space and military electronics, radiation effects, reliability assurance, and fault-tolerant computing. During his career at NASA, he led radiation hardness assurance and research efforts supporting more than 200 flight projects and managed the NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging Program for 15 years.

Nguyen has more than two decades of semiconductor industry experience and has spent much of her career focused on space-qualified FPGA technologies. Her expertise includes programmable logic solutions for aerospace and defense applications and the role of reconfigurable computing platforms in radiation-intensive environments.

Whether developing next-generation spacecraft, proliferated low-Earth-orbit constellations, missile defense systems, autonomous platforms, or advanced embedded computing architectures, engineers face growing challenges in ensuring reliable operation in extreme radiation environments. This webinar will provide practical insights into the technologies, design methodologies, and verification strategies shaping the future of radiation-resilient electronics.
