Currently Playing: The F-35 Took 20 Years. Unmanned Systems Take Two.

Altium Develop streamlines aerospace and defense electronics development with real-time collaboration across design, sourcing, and manufacturing — built for the speed unmanned systems demand: https://www.altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=ontrack-podcast&utm_content=the-f-35-took-20-years-unmanned-systems-take-two The aerospace and defense industry is being reshaped faster than at any point in recent memory. In this clip, a veteran of the A&D sector explains how legacy programs like the F-35 — once the benchmark for prime contractor development cycles at Lockheed, Raytheon, and L3Harris — took two decades to move from RFI to deployment. Unmanned systems are rewriting that playbook, compressing decade-long timelines into just a couple of years, with battlefield requirements in conflicts like Ukraine-Russia shifting on a weekly basis. This shift mirrors what SpaceX did to the space launch industry, where Boeing, United Launch Alliance, and Arianespace once dominated with multi-year booking windows and single-use launchers. Today, reusable rockets are the norm, and a similar revolution is unfolding in unmanned aerial systems, drones, and autonomous defense platforms. Watch to understand why unmanned systems represent the next major disruption in defense, and why electronics, components, and supply chain agility now matter more than ever. 👉 Check out the full podcast: https://youtu.be/8URt5zkHvwY 💡 Stay Connected: Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth tutorials and tips from @AltiumAcademy Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below! 👉 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy?sub_confirmation=1 Don't forget to follow us on social to stay up-to-date on the latest Altium Academy content. 👉 Follow Altium on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@altiumdesigner 👉 Follow Altium on Twitter: https://twitter.com/altium 👉 Follow Altium on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/altium/ 👉 Follow Altium on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltiumOfficial/ The Altium Academy is an online experience created to bring modern education to PCB Designers and Engineers all across the world.
