SWISSto12, a number one developer of superior engineered radio frequency (RF) merchandise for telecommunications, EW and radar functions within the aerospace trade, and their US-based accomplice, CAES, have been chosen by Lockheed Martin Area enterprise to develop superior, 3D printed, phased array antennas for upcoming satellite tv for pc missions.

SWISSto12 and CAES have partnered to carry additive manufacturing and 3D printing expertise to the USA aerospace and protection producers. The corporate’s experience, product and patent portfolio mixed with CAES design engineering, manufacturing, and check, allows uniquely designed RF merchandise and subsystems that meet difficult dimension, weight, and efficiency necessities.

With preliminary improvement carried out at SWISSto12’s headquarters in Switzerland, these 3D printed Phased Array Antennas will probably be manufactured by CAES’ new additive manufacturing laboratory in Exeter, New Hampshire.

“We stay up for this creating collaboration with Lockheed Martin, a world expertise chief in aerospace, area and safety. There may be great alternative provided by our 3D printed antenna expertise to assist upcoming satellite tv for pc missions optimize their efficiency and throughput whereas enhancing their protection flexibility,” stated Dr. Emile de Rijk, Founder and CEO of SWISSto12. “We’re grateful for the belief Lockheed Martin locations in SWISSto12 and CAES to embark onto this improvement which has long-term strategic worth to each our firms.”

“For many years, CAES has developed and manufactured a wide range of antennas, RF subsystems and microelectronics for Lockheed Martin’s area missions,” stated David Younger, Chief Know-how Officer, CAES. “Along with our accomplice SWISSto12, we’re thrilled to collaborate as soon as once more to usher in a brand new wave of pioneering superior digital options primarily based on additive manufacturing applied sciences.”

“SWISSto12 and CAES present a powerful mixture of revolutionary technical options and expert expertise,” stated Kyle Griffin, vp of Lockheed Martin Area’s Superior Program Improvement group. “We stay up for strengthening this relationship as we construct options for more and more advanced challenges in area.”
