Deep & Emerging TechPredict Antenna Coupling on Electrically LargePlatforms Before Building Hardware
Full‑wave simulation that can handle aircraft‑scale platforms with fewer compute resources is a cost and schedule lever, not just an RF curiosity. If you’re putting multiple radios on any large chassis — aircraft, ships, EVs — invest in this modeling upfront to avoid late‑stage hardware surprises.
Deep & Emerging TechResearchers Built a Coin-Sized Device That Can Hack a Boeing 737’s Electronics
A sub‑$100, coin‑sized device that can compromise a 737’s electronics with brief physical access shows how legacy systems weren’t designed for modern threat models.
