Operational Impact
BAE Systems’ engineers successfully completed the complex Advanced Digital HF Radar Receiver within the allotted time-frame. Its advanced features and high RF/data performance were then ready to extend the capabilities of the OTHR system. During the project development and transition path to Altium Designer 6, convenient web-based training offered by Altium played a crucial role in bringing the engineers up to speed quickly. When additional help was required, the engineers appreciated the expertise and fast response from world-class support services at Altium. By progressively upgrading to Altium Designer 6, BAE Systems has ensured that its electronics design and board development capabilities have kept pace with the increasing demands of the cutting-edge OTHR projects. | |
