L3 Harris Technologies has been trusted by the UK armed forces for over 100 years, delivering cutting-edge solutions that ensure mission success.
Recently, students got a glimpse into this world during a hands-on workshop on silicon chip design and programming. From Boolean logic and binary shifting to building circuits with VHDL on FPGA boards, they experienced how theory meets real-world application.
FPGAs power sectors like aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications and now these students know why! This practical session gave them insight into how modern electronic systems are developed, tested, and deployed.
Innovation starts here. Who knows? The next breakthrough in defence tech might come from one of these future engineers.
