Notice Title

Supply and delivery of a Low-Latency In-Loop 256:512 Channel PAUT Real-Time Controller

Notice Description

It is proposed to procure a high-performance Ultrasonic Phased Array Controller with a minimum 256 true T/R Channels and capability for 512 channels for future 3D inspection. This would be coupled to existing CUE software for processing of the ultrasonic signals. This will enable TRL progression from low-level research within TIC & RES to NMIS and then industrial shop floor for maximum impact at scale and pace. Example application and translation areas will focus on next-generation composites and metal additive processes.
