PCB Design for use in Military and Aerospace

To make sure that electronic products are suitable for flight or combat, they need to be tough, dependable, and small in size. It is important to ensure that your design data is secure with encryption and authentication, especially in industries that require high security measures such as aviation and defense. Keeping a record of design changes and decisions is also essential when dealing with regulatory bodies like the FAA or the military.

Certifications and standards such as MIL-STD-275, FSC-5998, DO-254, and ISO-14300 are vital in these industries, but they can be overwhelming to manage. Using systems that formalize and automate revision, lifecycle, design templates, and numbering schemes can help streamline the process. While basic PCB and schematic tools may be easy to use, they may not provide the required rigor for high reliability defense and aerospace products.

To achieve the standards and certifications required for space, air, land, and sea, you need tools that include workflow and data management capabilities that align with certification and commissioning programs.
