INDUSTRY

Aerospace & Defence

Defence and aerospace programmes combine demanding signal processing with service lives measured in decades. Faststream works on FPGA signal processing, satellite modems, secure hardware and control-loop electronics, with the obsolescence management that a twenty-year platform actually requires.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What engineers ask before they call.

01

Why is FPGA common in defence signal processing?

Because performance requirements exceed what general-purpose processors deliver, and because waveforms and standards change during a platform's life. Reconfigurability after deployment is worth the unit cost premium in most defence volumes.

02

How does Faststream handle decade-long lifecycles?

Component obsolescence monitoring, second sourcing qualified before it is needed, documented change control that keeps qualification valid, and archive discipline so design data and toolchains remain usable years later.
