Defense applications

Design smaller, lighter, more reliable and long-lasting equipment with Infineon’s high reliability solutions and services for defense applications

About

High reliability motor control

The demand for autonomous precision-guided airborne systems in defense applications requires extended flight times and high-accuracy impact points, necessitating advanced defense product design. Infineon, along with its subsidiary IR HiRel, offers MIL-PRF qualified power and memory solutions to enhance motor control and provides controlled manufacturing for product longevity in multi-year defense flight aerospace programs. We also offer quick-turn solutions using Si, SiC, GaN, and memory COTS components for defense electronics. This comprehensive range of offerings can expedite the development and production of airborne systems while meeting stringent performance and reliability standards.

High reliability motor control

High reliability vehicle electrification

Electrification offers advantages like greater efficiencies through a smaller diesel engine paired with an electric powertrain. Challenges include the need for long-range capabilities, reliable dual-technology architecture, and the weight of battery systems. Despite these challenges, electrification is seen as a key strategy for reducing environmental impact and improving operational effectiveness in defense applications.

Infineon's industry leadership in vehicle electrification and high-reliability power and memory solutions can simplify defense product design for vehicle electrification designs, enabling faster production of ready-to-deploy fleets.
