Prepared for Tomorrow's Challenges
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.
Highlighted Stories
Linux Flies into Space
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.
