Special requirements for military and aerospace electronics: high reliability and adaptability to extreme environments
Military and aerospace electronic products place extremely high demands on reliability, requiring them to maintain stable performance in environments with extreme temperatures, strong vibration, long-term operation, and electromagnetic interference. Radar control systems, satellite communication modules, and navigation electronics used in fielded equipment must meet military and aerospace standards.
China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, core companies in China’s military and aerospace electronics sectors, impose stringent reliability and consistency requirements on their SMT production lines in the development of high-end equipment.
Leveraging years of experience in the development and application of high-precision SMT equipment, S&M is able to provide military and aerospace customers with electronic manufacturing solutions that meet the demands of extreme application scenarios.
The role of SMT equipment in radar, satellite and navigation systems
Core control modules in military and aerospace equipment often utilize multi-layer, high-density PCBs, requiring precise placement and stable soldering.
China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) utilizes S&M high-precision placement machines and vacuum reflow soldering in the production of radar signal processing and guidance control modules, effectively reducing solder void rates and improving the stability of signal processing modules.
China Shipbuilding Corporation (CSIC) utilizes S&M intelligent transmission and board loading and unloading equipment in the production of control boards for ship navigation and communication systems, achieving production line automation and long-term stable operation.
Times Electric utilizes S&M SMT turnkey solutions in the manufacture of electronic units for rail transit and military control systems, achieving highly consistent production and meeting the stringent requirements of military standards.
S&M equipment helps customers ensure the reliable delivery of core electronic modules for radar, satellite, and navigation systems.
Process requirements: high and low temperature resistance, shock resistance, long life
Military and aerospace electronic products must meet performance requirements in extreme environments:
High and low temperature resistance: Long-term stable operation in environments ranging from -55°C to 125°C;
Vibration and shock resistance: Maintaining reliable connections in the high vibration environments of ships, aircraft, or spacecraft;
Long life: Products with service cycles exceeding 10 years must ensure the long-term stability of solder joints and electronic modules.
In the core control module project for China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and Times Electric, S&M’s vacuum reflow and multi-stage temperature control systems ensured soldering consistency and stress resistance. Furthermore, the intelligent peripherals, through smooth transmission and full-process testing, reduced potential process risks and met the process standards of the military and aerospace industries.
