aerospace and defence test system development and recent innovators in power semiconductor reliability test. Together, the companies will reduce time to market for critical, highly differentiated solutions and accelerate semiconductor-to- transportation supply-chain convergence with power electronic materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitrite (GaN). NI first announced a strategic minority investment in SET in 2020 to help aerospace and defence companies solve soaring development costs and integration challenges. The collaboration enhanced a system-on- demand and model-based test approach delivered to shorten time-to-market schedules, reduce program risk, integrate labs, and optimise data and assets.
