BAE Systems’ advanced, high reliability radiation-hardened electronic components, cards, processors, and units have been enabling civil, commercial, and national security space missions for more than 50 years.

BAE Systems’ radiation-hardened ASIC technologies not only resist radiation induced upsets or damage, but are compatible with a wide variety of commercially available design tools and feature lower power and higher-reliability enhancements.

Radiation-hardened electronics, also called rad-hard electronics, are electronic components (circuits, transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc.), single-board computer CPUs, and sensors that are designed and produced to be less susceptible to damage from exposure to radiation and extreme temperatures (-55°C to 125°C).

2023年4月27日 · BAE Systems sees two significant trends in radiation-hardened and tolerant solutions in space, and they’re the opposite of each other. BAE Systems’ radiation hardened systems for satellites and...

2018年6月1日 · BAE Systems uses radiation-hardening by design to produce the RAD 5545 system-on-chip rad-hard microprocessor, which company officials say is one of the most reliable radiation-hardened...

2002年4月30日 · MANASSAS, Va. — BAE Systems is moving into a third generation of radiation-hardened spacecraft processors based on the IBM PowerPC 750 — and competing with existing systems in the process.

2022年3月10日 · BAE Systems and Actel Corporation are collaborating to bring the next-generation radiation hardened FPGA product for space applications to market. This paper will describe the rad hard AX-250 FPGA and the electrical and radiation test data on rad hard 150nm product hardware, FPGA device structures and anti-fuse arrays, as part of the overall ...

BAE Systems in Manassas, VA has developed and demonstrated a comprehensive radiation hardened 150 nm standard cell digital ASIC design library. The library is used to configure ASIC designs built using the strategically radiation hardened fully-scaled 150 nm bulk CMOS process technology at the recently modernized foundry at BAE systems.

rad-hard version of the IBM PowerPC 750. With nearly 10 times the performance of current rad-hard space processors, the RAD750® processor is the most powerful radiation-hardened general-purpose microprocessor ever developed. This chip’s architecture supports the industry leading performance of >400 MIPS operating at 200 MHz.

Space is a very hostile place for electronics, so BAE Systems is rolling out its new RAD5545 single-board computer designed to survive the hard radiation in space while providing "exponential...
