When we talk about Aerospace, in today’s world, we mean the commercial avionic, space and new space (space 2.0) business. These are all demanding industries each with their own unique technical and commercial challenges. Today we take for granted a flight on a new efficient aeroplane or an internet connection in a remote location but behind these technical achievements stands a dedicated group of customers and suppliers.
Whether it is ground based, sea based, avionic or space, whether is an earth observation satellite, a telecomm or Global Positioning Satellite or even a trip to Mars and beyond - Avnet Silica has a wide range of products and expertise to support your needs. We offer the very best in technical and commercial support combined with world class logistics. Space graded parts and other semiconductor products supplied by Avnet Silica can be found in many applications where highest reliability is a must.
We are the partner of most of the biggest component suppliers to this markets enabling us to support a complete system level solution to our aerospace and defence customers.

Addressing the processing needs of Space 2.0 applications
The heavens may be infinite, but in Earth’s neighbourhood things are getting crowded. Space 2.0, a new era of exploration and development driven more by commercial interests than government action, is fuelling rapid innovation in reusable rockets, satellite internet connectivity, Earth observation platforms, navigation, space tourism and many more applications. As a result, our skies are rapidly becoming much busier than ever before.

FPGAs fit for space
The arrival of Space 2.0 has democratised the use of satellites and opened up an array of applications that can be serviced by electronics in low-Earth orbit (LEO) as well as those on higher trajectories such as geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO). Although launch costs have fallen rapidly, development cost and time present their own challenges. Even if deployed in large constellations of several hundred satellites like some of the LEO communications networks now orbiting, space electronics designs are intrinsically low-volume applications.

Versal - Revolutionising Onboard Processing and AI in Space 2.0 Applications
Our space exploration and satellite technology landscapes are changing fast, ushering in what many refer to as Space 2.0.
This era emphasises higher processing power, AI-driven analytics, and increased autonomy for space missions. Unlike traditional space missions, which relied on extensive ground station communication and analysis, Space 2.0 requires real-time data processing, adaptive computing architectures, and radiation-hardened electronics that can withstand the harsh conditions of space.
AMD’s Versal adaptive SoCs — reconfigurable processing platforms designed for space-based AI, machine learning, and advanced onboard computing — are at the forefront of this evolution.
