DEFENSE-AEROSPACESERVICES & SUPPORT

Avnet Electronics Marketing helps defense-aerospace customers bridge the gap between legacy and leading-edge — mil-spec and COTS — obsolescence and sustainability with a wide array of technology options and value-add service offerings.

Board- and System-level SolutionsThe cornerstone of Avnet’s design chain competencies is Avnet Engineering Services — a group of technical experts that specialize in implementing ASIC and FPGA solutions on a fee-for-service basis. The Avnet Engineering Services group designs development and evaluation platforms that support products from Avnet’s line card partners. From board- to system-level solutions, Avnet has the expertise to meet any design requirement — on or off the board.

Commercial GradeAvnet has strategic global relationships with best-in-class component manufacturers, which allow us to support entire bills of materials from resistors to FPGAs. Our online part search engine and PartBuilder™ parametric search tool provide easy access to complete portfolios of semiconductor, interconnect, passive and electromechanical products. Users of Avnet PartBuilder can build part numbers from descriptions and technical attributes and perform side-by-side comparisons of similar components.

Mil-SpecAvnet offers the broadest selection of mil-spec products and custom value-add services available today. These products and services, such as military connector assembly, can be accessed via our Web site, which is powered by the industry’s largest online component database. Behind the scenes, this database is maintained and grown by defense-aerospace product and inventory experts. This expertise is also evident in the “build your own bill of materials” functionality embedded in our Web site.

SpaceAvnet also offers a comprehensive portfolio of space and RadHard products enhanced by exclusive space inventory programs with top component manufacturers. Special programs include data pack management. Avnet can also provide advice and technical insight into ruggedized products as well as test data to support specific customer requirements.

COTSAvnet is one of the largest distributors of COTS components and embedded products. The key to successfully supporting COTS requirements is a proper ecosystem — from product and program management to strategic relationships with manufacturers to the ability to support new product introductions and provide end-to-end supply chain management.

ObsolescenceThe wide array of products Avnet supplies to defense-aerospace customers is complemented by a suite of component end-of-life (EOL) solutions that can mitigate the effects of semiconductor obsolescence and counterfeit issues, allowing customers to avoid costly redesign and component integrity issues. Through a select number of aftermarket manufacturers, Avnet can offer products and services such as custom die packaging, footprint adapters, test/screening and emulation. Our goal is to meet component needs, with a traceable pedigree, for the life of a design.

Avnet leverages our unique strength, scale and role as a trusted industry veteran to deliver reliable, sustainable solutions.

Differentiated Product Options

Avnet offers a full portfolio of products, services and support to aid electronic original equipment manufacturers (EOEMs), electronic manufacturing services (EMS) providers, sub-contractors and integrators creating sophisticated applications for the defense-aerospace market. We offer a dedicated military sales team, highly trained Field Application Engineers and a Web-based Design Resource Center that allows us to protect customer design investments and extend product life cycles.

Technology EducationAvnet’s engineering teams spend countless hours with line card partners to craft technical education programs that accelerate the learning curve on new products and technologies. SpeedWay Design Workshops™ are hands-on training classes that feature technical presentations as well as hardware-based lab exercises. On-Ramp Technical Sessions™ are two-hour technical sessions, typically held over lunch at the customer’s facility, that meld tool demonstrations with instruction on specific technologies or design topics. These workshops and technical sessions are conducted by teams of local field application engineers with a focus on jump starting new or ongoing design efforts.

SDB SolutionsAvnet’s Diversity Partner Program helps minimize risk and maximize flexibility throughout the product development life cycle. Avnet has formed strategic alliances with small businesses to help these companies achieve development and revenue goals.

Supply Chain ManagementAvnet offers a host of best-in-class supply chain services, which include order fulfillment, inventory control, storage and consignment and point of use replenishment. Specialized or customized solutions can also be created after comprehensive supply chain assessments are performed.

Systems Integration ServicesAvnet simplifies and streamlines development and delivery of technical solutions by providing Systems Integration Services that enable customers to maximize company resources, operate more efficiently and reduce new product development costs. From drive duplication to fully integrated systems ready for shipment to end customers, Avnet can fulfill any requirement. The integration services team includes design, integration, sales and technology-specific engineers who can help sort through myriad technologies and identify the best option for a given set of requirements. These services can be utilized at specific phases of the product development life cycle or throughout the entire cycle.

Value-Add ServicesAvnet has one of the broadest offerings of physical value-add services in the industry, specializing in services that provide cost and time-to-market advantages so that our customers can concentrate solely on the aspects of business that provide the most return. Add a well-deserved reputation for customer service, and it’s easy to see why Avnet adds value to hundreds of customers each day. Services include commercial interconnect assembly, custom cable assembly, custom packaging, device programming, high-reliability and military connector assembly, motor modification, power supply modification and thermal management.

Avnet provides comprehensive supply chain and integration services, strategic product intelligence and design

support for mission-critical projects and applications.

Avnet offers more than just traditional distribution services and socket-level support by making it a point to understand total system requirements for mission-critical projects and applications. Countless defense-aerospace customer engagements have shown that a one-size-fits-all approach to design support isn’t nearly as effective as deploying technical resources on a case-by-case basis to meet specific customer needs.
