Aptiv software, hardware and services help aerospace and defense companies close the gap between legacy systems and tomorrow’s requirements. We accelerate program delivery, reduce risk, certify safety and ensure security – all while supporting operational readiness over the long lifecycles these platforms require.
Enabling Drones to Perform Mission-Critical Tasks
Aptiv provides intelligent perception, compute and software solutions enabling autonomy for the modern mission environment, supported by our global footprint and region-specific supply chain for a wide range of applications.
Linux, open source software, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware have reshaped space technology. They have replaced the one-off, proprietary programs and specialized hardware typical of older space-borne systems. The change suggests faster turnarounds and more innovation opportunities — a transition with long-term implications for anyone interested in space exploration.
Making Aerospace and Defense Mixed-Criticality Systems Secure and Safe
Mission systems for aerospace and defense (A&D) must deliver ever-increasing capabilities on edge-ready hardware
that operates within strict space, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. To achieve this goal, functions that once
required dedicated hardware are consolidating onto shared high-performance compute platforms.
