Skyworks has captured high-reliability and commercial-off-the-shelf sockets with multiple aerospace and defense suppliers such as Cobham, EADS, Herley and Teledyne. Skyworks solutions are being leveraged for microwave switching, attenuation, receiver protection and mixer and detector applications in commercial and military radios, avionics systems, software defined radios and navigation platforms that support major tier-one aerospace and defense companies such as Boeing, L-3 Communications, Northrup Grumman and Raytheon.
These solutions are ideal for the rapidly growing aerospace and defense industry where customers are seeking effective, efficient and reliable military communication systems that deliver robust, wide-ranging and real-time data and services. The market for Semiconductors in Military and Aerospace Electronics is expected to grow to over $3.0 billion worldwide in four years (Source: Global Information Report - 2013 Semiconductors in Military and Aerospace Electronics). In addition, the fastest adoption rate for solutions in the military/aerospace market will come from commercial-off-the-shelf socket platforms, which is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 6 percent over the next five years. This long-term market trend is based on the industry’s greater focus on reliability, shorter business cycles and the ability to operate within budget constraints.
