When CSA Catapult was set up in 2018, the first key market identified was vehicle electrification, with predicted significant growth in demand for power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD) to deliver electrification of the transport sector.
This project brings together CSA Catapult, BT and Space Forge to develop high-frequency and energy-efficient radio frequency (RF) GaN (Gallium Nitride) power amplifiers for massive MIMO systems.
The SiNQ project (Silicon Nitride for Quantum Computing) aims to develop and establish a UK supply chain for integrated photonic components for trapped ion quantum computers.
The FABB-HVDC (Future Aerospace power conversion Building Blocks for High Voltage DC electrical power systems) project is establishing a globally competitive, UK supply chain. The leading edge technology will support a more environmentally sustainable, more electric future for aviation.
The Sim4CAMSens (Simulation for Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Sensing) will build a UK supply chain to advance the modelling, simulation, testing and characterisation of perception systems and algorithms for autonomous vehicles.
ASSIST aims to establish a sovereign UK supply chain for high voltage silicon carbide (SiC) devices at voltage and current ratings that are significantly different to devices currently available on the market.
ELIPS (Enhanced Liquid Immersion Power Systems) is a design-for-manufacture project aiming to build a UK supply-chain to deliver immersion and GaN-based technology across the power electronics, machines and drives (PEMD) sectors.
The QuEOD (Quantum Electro-optic Detector Technology) project is working to establish the UK as a global leader in the manufacturing of next-generation quantum sensors.
