Teledyne e2v begins full production of 16GB DDR4-X1 Flight Models for advanced space applications. Teledyne e2v has announced the commencement of full-scale production of its 16GB DDR4-X1 Flight Model, marking a significant step forward in the company's range of high-density, radiation-tolerant memory solutions designed for space applications. This development responds to the increasing demand for advanced onboard computing capabilities driven by next-generation satellite missions. The 16GB DDR4-X1 Flight Model has been engineered to meet the performance and reliability requirements of modern space systems, including AI-enabled satellites, large-scale constellations, broadband connectivity services from orbit, direct-to-device communication networks, and optical inter-satellite links. By combining high memory density with radiation resilience in a compact form factor, the device supports complex data processing tasks in challenging environments. Initial samples of the memory device were delivered to customers in October 2025, enabling early-stage system integration and evaluation. The component delivers data rates of up to 2400 MT/s and is built to withstand radiation effects, including single-event latch-up immunity above 43 MeV - cm[2]/mg and total ionizing dose tolerance up to 35 krad. These characteristics ensure dependable performance in mission-critical conditions. The device maintains a compact footprint of 15 x 20 x 1.92 mm, consistent with other DDR4 products in the company's portfolio. Its pin-to-pin compatibility with lower-density variants allows system designers to increase memory capacity without redesigning existing hardware, simplifying upgrade paths and reducing development timelines. Company representatives highlighted that the transition to production reflects steady progress across the program, supported by completed documentation, radiation testing data, and established customer support resources. These elements are intended to facilitate integration across a wide range of space programs. The 16GB DDR4-X1 is also incorporated into the Qormino(R) QLS1046 space computing modules, which combine a radiation-tolerant processor with DDR4 memory to support advanced onboard applications such as artificial intelligence processing, sensor data fusion, and autonomous spacecraft operations. In addition to the new product, the company's DDR4 portfolio includes 8GB Flight Models and upcoming NASA Level 1 16GB versions intended for geostationary and long-duration missions, expected to be available in the third quarter of 2026. This expanding portfolio provides satellite developers with flexible memory options aligned with diverse mission requirements while maintaining compatibility and long-term supply continuity.
Teledyne FLIR OEM announces upgraded Prism SKR software, boosting automatic target recognition capabilities for the defense industry. Teledyne FLIR 8. April 2026 Software update unifies mission execution and intelligent supervision in a single, closed-loop autonomy platform for guided weapon systems. GOLETA, calif., - April 7, 2026 - Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne technologies incorporated (NYSE:TDY), today announced an upgrade to prism(tm) SKR (pronounced "seeker"), evolving the software from automated targeting into a unified, closed-loop autonomy platform. The milestone update sets a new defense industry standard by unifying mission execution and intelligent supervision into a single platform for guided weapon systems, including smart, loitering munitions, air-launched effects (ALE), counter-uas platforms, attritables, interceptors, and first-person view (FPV) drones. Teledyne FLIR OEM's upgraded Prism SKR software manages the entire mission lifecycle, from tasking through execution by delivering perception-based automatic target recognition (ATR) and autonomy with advanced features designed for precision in contested environments. Prism SKR's pixel-lock targeting also addresses the critical final meters of FPV drone missions, ensuring precision autonomy in the terminal phase where manual control often fails due to signal interference. "The upgraded Prism SKR represents a significant leap forward by unifying execution and intelligent supervision to provide operators with greater mission confidence," said Jared Faraudo, vice president of product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. "By integrating advanced mission scripting with support for AI-accelerated development and execution compatible with large language model (LLM) tools like GitHub Copilot, we are enabling developers to plan and task systems at the speed of intent, while the QgroundControl plugin ensures these capabilities fit naturally into existing operator workflows." [Video (C) Teledyne FLIR] Key enhancements include 3D interactive aimpoint selection, terrain-aware operations, and pixel-lock targeting, which ensures precise, persistent re identification (ReID) tracking through signal degradation or loss, scaling from assisted AI during FPV handoff to fully autonomous mission execution. These capabilities support a wide range of mission scenarios, including air-to-ground, ground-to-air, air-to-air, and ground-to-ground operations. Built for rapid OEM deployment, Prism SKR operates at the edge on low power embedded platforms, including NVIDIA(R) Orin(TM) and Teledyne FLIR OEM's AVP system on module (SOM) based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing(TM) QCS8550. The Weapon Open Systems Architecture (WOSA) compliant software integrates seamlessly with Boson(R) and Neutrino(R) IR cameras, as well as integrator selected visible sensors, delivering real time target tracking and system state. A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and software development kit (SDK) accelerate deployment speed and reduce development risk while enabling performance optimization and customization.
