Maker of the RAD750 and RAD5545 — de facto US standard rad-hard space computer
What they do
BAE's Electronic Systems sector houses the world's longest-running rad-hard chip line . RAD750 is still flying on James Webb, Curiosity, Perseverance, multiple GPS III birds, and LRO. RAD5545 (45nm) powers software-defined radio payloads for Lockheed Martin. RAD510 is the next-gen. In 2021 DoD selected BAE to build the RH12 storefront — 12nm rad-hard ASIC design services for the US defense industrial base. BAE rad-hard systems have logged "over 11,500 years of successful operations in space" with no known failure.
