The electronics used in harsh environments, such as space, high-altitude flight, or high-reliability military applications, demand optimal system-level performance and reliability. GaN FETs and ICs are smaller, lower-weight, more efficient, higher reliability, and lower cost than aging silicon devices. This enables entirely new architectures for satellite power and data transmission, robotics, drones, and aeronautical power systems. Space systems include space programs, satellite buses, space exploration, and service providers.
