Beyond efficiency, ASICs enable the aerospace industry to fully leverage digitalization, powering real-time sensor fusion, high-speed avionics and onboard data processing. By handling large volumes of telemetry and operational data, these chips enhance situational awareness, support predictive maintenance and provide a foundation for advanced autonomous or assisted flight operations.
In the UK aerospace sector, ASICs make aircraft smarter and more connected, boosting system reliability, increasing safety margins and strengthening the nation’ s leadership in sustainable, technologically advanced aviation.
As the UK aims to increase business investment and grow the industries of the future, investing in semiconductors, particularly ASICs, goes beyond a purely technological choice. These highly specialized chips will play a centra role in transforming the UK into a resilient, efficient and forward-looking manufacturing nation. ■
