Application Areas

Avionics Systems

Avionics encompass the electronic systems used on aircraft, satellites, and spacecraft, important for navigation, communication, and systems management. These sophisticated systems require high-reliability components that SCI provides:

  • Navigation Systems: Utilize advanced sensors and GPS technology to ensure precise positioning and direction. High-performance gyroscope components and accelerometers are essential, along with reliable GPS modules. 
  • Communication Systems: Maintain constant and secure communication channels between the aircraft and ground stations. This involves sophisticated RF components, antennas, and high-frequency transceivers. 
  • Flight Control Systems: Critical for the automated control of aircraft operations. These systems use a variety of servomechanisms, sensors, and actuators, supported by robust control ICs and power management solutions. 

Military Vehicles

Military applications require rugged, high-performance electronic components that can withstand extreme conditions while ensuring operational success and safety:

  • Surveillance Systems: Incorporate a range of imaging and sensing technologies to monitor and collect data in various environments. Thermal imaging sensors, night vision cameras, and long-range RF components are important . 
  • Weapon Guidance Systems: Enable precision targeting and deployment of weaponry. This involves advanced navigation modules, motion sensors, and secure communication systems to ensure accuracy and reliability. 
  • Electronic Warfare Systems: Employ electronic technologies to disrupt enemy systems while protecting friendly communications. These systems rely on powerful ECM modules, jammers, and encrypted communication devices. 

Spacecraft and Satellites

The final frontier demands components that can operate reliably in the harsh conditions of space, where repair is often not an option:

  • Satellite Communication Systems: Facilitate global communication by transmitting and receiving signals from orbit. These systems depend on high-reliability transceivers, robust signal processing units, and solar power regulators. 
  • Orbital and Attitude Control Systems: Ensure that satellites maintain the correct trajectory and orientation. Gyroscopes, reaction wheels, and thruster systems that include precision motors and controllers are key. 
  • Life Support Systems: Critical for manned missions, these systems monitor and control the spacecraft’s environment. Sensors that detect atmospheric conditions, oxygen level controllers, and filtration systems are vital components.
