Ukraine Reaches a Milestone: Making ‘China-Free’ Drones
- sylware 8mo agoI wonder which SOC they are using.
- giuliomagnifico 8mo agoThe article doesn’t mention the details, it just says: > Ukraine Defense Drones makes most of its own components, and European suppliers fill most of the gaps. Anyway I guess they can be STmicro electronics, NXP, Infineon…
- sylware 8mo agoI wonder from which foundries they used for those very SOCs.
- giuliomagnifico 8mo agoThose manufacturers have their foundries in Europe, France, Italy, Germany, etc...
- sylware 8mo agoMaybe because they are "robust" chips, probably far away from the best silicon process, and when I mean best, I mean 'with the smallest features.'
- giuliomagnifico 8mo agoYes but you don’t need 2/3nm chip in a drone! STmicro is a global leader in many sectors for example, like automotive chips, probably Ukraine is using those chips.
