Boeing Statement on KC-46 Agreement with the U.S. Air Force
April 6, 2020 | BoeingEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Boeing Defense, Space & Security President and CEO Leanne Caret issued the following statement regarding Boeing’s KC-46 agreement with the U.S. Air Force:
The Air Force and Boeing will make the KC-46 synonymous with aerial refueling excellence. The agreement we announced today takes advantage of new remote vision systems technologies that are orders of magnitude better than what was available when the program started. Generations of women and men in uniform will benefit from the advancements we are making in the science of visualization systems. Not only will these advancements benefit the KC-46 by preparing it for future capabilities like autonomous refueling, they will also benefit other programs for years to come. The investments we continue to make in the KC-46 clearly demonstrate Boeing’s commitment to Pegasus being the standard by which all future refueling aircraft are measured.

Rethinking Reinforcement Materials for Advanced Packaging
05/14/2026 | Ivana Ivanovic, Flexiramics B.V.Materials that once quietly supported the industry are now becoming limiting factors. The electronics industry is experiencing unprecedented pressure as RF systems push into mmWave frequencies, high-speed digital architectures advance into their next performance generation, and power densities climb across automotive, telecom, aerospace, and computing. Reinforcement materials, long treated as a background detail in laminate design, are suddenly at the centre of performance, reliability, and supply‑chain discussions.
Below the Surface: Active Component and Module Submounts—The Architecture Behind Performance
05/14/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceIf you were to peel back the layers of a modern electronic system, such as a satellite transceiver, a LiDAR module, or a 5G base station, you would not immediately notice a specific component doing some of the most important work. It doesn’t amplify signals, emit light, or process data, yet without it, none of those functions would be stable, reliable, or scalable. That component is the active device submount.
