    Collins Aerospace has completed prototype development of high-voltage power distribution components for the Clean Aviation SWITCH project, pending system integration testing >> 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02WbNGm0 📢 Tino Schuldt, general manager for Collins Aerospace's Nördlingen facility, said, “Hybrid-electric aircraft are an integral part of the aviation industry's drive to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, yet without new, safe high-voltage power distribution systems, they will not fly. “Here in Nördlingen, we're leveraging our decades of experience in power distribution solutions and world-class facility to break new ground in the development of these critical enabling technologies for the next generation of hybrid-electric and all-electric platforms." 👏 ➡️ Visit the Defense Advancement website for further information. #power #technology #engineering #components #development

    🎉 Exciting times for Quantic Thistle! 🎉 This month marks a significant milestone for us as we move into our new high value manufacturing facility in Loanhead, Edinburgh! A special thank you to Quantic Electronics for all their support, and in particular to our VP Alan Sikarskie who travelled over from the US to see first hand what Gordon Stewart and his team had achieved over the last three months - transforming a vacant office space into a highly specialised design and manufacturing facility - more than doubling our production capacity. We're excited for what lies ahead! #defenceindustry #engineeringexcellence

    That's a wrap! Another fantastic two days at UTAC Millbrook for DVD.  As a UK SME, our LAND business line benefits hugely from this event. Laser-sharp focus on UK & Allies Ground vehicle fleets, strong engagement with the end user and ever-improving collaboration with primes.  It was a privilege to connect with many inspiring leaders and innovators in the defence industry. The event provided a valuable platform to discuss the future of defence technology and strategy in these fast-changing times. Grateful to all the brilliant people we met along the way – old friends and new - and looking forward to the collaborations and opportunities ahead! A big thank you to the organisers and all involved in making this such a valuable experience. Until next time! #DVDMilbrook2024 #DefenceInnovation #QuanticThistle

    HMS Cardiff, the second of eight Type 26 City Class frigates being built in Govan for the Royal Navy, is entering the water for the first time 🚢 The ship - which has Welsh singing star Katherine Jenkins as her official sponsor - was transferred from the shipyard slipway to a barge by a team of engineering specialists to begin the float-off process. The build process for each ship involves its structure being completed in Govan and HMS Cardiff will be the last Type 26 to have this initial work constructed outside in the elements, as the new multi-million pound Janet Harvey shipbuild Hall in Govan will see the remaining frigates have their structures completed indoors. In Scotstoun, the ship’s outfit is completed and the complex systems are installed before test and commissioning takes place. As the first ship in class, HMS Glasgow is expected to enter service in 2028. Join us in shaping tomorrow 🔗 http://baes.co/X2gc50TaytM #HistoryMakers

    A belated (summer holiday related!) post-match report on the most excellent 2024 edition of the Summer BBQ by ADS Group Ltd. As networking events go, this one is going from strength to strength. This year we were treated not only to an excellent spread of summer fare (beer, rosé & burgers!) but also to a spectacular view over the the final day of play Surrey vs Essex in the County Cricket Championship. Kevin Craven’s words of welcome were justifiably upbeat: ADS as the UK’s primary trade association for the #defenceindustry does a superb job driving industry collaboration, ensuring that within the U.K. primes and SMEs work effectively together, and presenting a strong national capability to our international allies. The Quantic Electronics group, and Quantic Thistle in particular are proud to associate with ADS and look forward to their growing programme of trade shows and trade missions. And Surrey won by 145 runs. #exportingisgreat #engineeringexcellence #networking
