Military + Aerospace Electronics cordially invites you to join an editorial webinar examining the rapidly evolving role of power electronics in defense and aerospace platforms, where demands for higher efficiency, greater power density, and tighter SWaP constraints are reshaping system architectures across air, land, sea, and space domains.

 As modern platforms integrate advanced sensing, electronic warfare, directed energy subsystems, and edge computing workloads, power systems are under increasing pressure to deliver higher performance in smaller, thermally constrained footprints. At the same time, the transition to electrified architectures and distributed power management is driving new approaches to conversion, distribution, and control.

This discussion will bring together industry subject matter experts to explore the technologies enabling this shift, including wide-bandgap semiconductors, advanced power modules, and system-level thermal and architectural strategies.

 Key topics will include:

• The impact of GaN and SiC devices on efficiency, switching performance, and system SWaP
• High-density power conversion architectures for modern mission systems
• Thermal management challenges in tightly integrated electronic subsystems
• Power system design for AI-enabled edge computing, EW, and ISR payloads
• Electrification trends across next-generation aerospace and defense platforms
• Reliability, ruggedization, and radiation tolerance considerations in harsh environments
• System-level approaches to distributed and modular power architectures

 The webinar will focus on practical engineering constraints and emerging design approaches, highlighting where current technologies are reaching limits and where new materials, packaging techniques, and architectures are enabling performance gains.

This session is designed for engineers, system architects, program managers, and technical decision-makers working in power electronics, embedded systems, aerospace systems, and defense electronics integration.
