Why we go
AOC Europe gathers programmes, armed forces and industry around the electromagnetic spectrum. This audience is not asking for a computer: it asks for a platform that passes a qualification, stays available for years and withstands the declared environment.
That is why our bench here talks standards before performance: MIL-STD for shock, vibration and environment, DO-160 when it flies, EN 50155 when it runs on rails. The three families of requirements that govern the design.
What we bring
Systems and boards for defence programme architectures — VPX and OpenVPX, CompactPCI and CompactPCI Serial, mezzanine modules — together with rugged computers and networking for vehicle and naval platforms.
What to ask at the stand
Here the useful question is not "how much" but "for how many years". Platform availability, obsolescence management, lot traceability, the option of a build to specification when the catalogue does not cover the requirement: those are the four points worth sitting down for.
