NI Announces Strategic Collaboration with SET GmbH and Tech180 Inc.

NI Announces Strategic Collaboration with SET GmbH and Tech180 Inc.

New disruptive methodology to help accelerate aerospace and defense test efficiency

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NI(NASDAQ: NATI),SET GmbH, and Tech180 Inc., experts in aerospace and defense test systems, announced a strategic collaboration to disrupt the design, development, and maintenance of test systems. Together, the companies will deliver an innovative approach to test systems, including new products, hardware and software frameworks, open systems reference architecture, and a paradigm-shifting System-on-Demand methodology.

“Conventional approaches for aerospace and defense test are badly outdated and in need of disruption. Engineers and enterprises are looking for new ways to leverage test as a competitive advantage, using it to reduce costs and accelerate product introductions while maintaining agility and equipment utilization,” said Luke Schreier, Vice President and General Manager of NI’s Aerospace, Defense and Government Business Unit and new board member for SET. “We are confident that NI’s collaboration with SET and Tech180 will deliver the right approach and system-level capability necessary for our customers to meet test requirements at an accelerated rate.”

Aerospace and defense companies face soaring development costs and complexities from embedded software, design, and integration challenges required in manned/unmanned aircraft, space launch vehicles, and new urban air mobility approaches. Simultaneously, the pressure to develop faster continues to rise while dated test approaches and equipment further exacerbate problems, making adaptability to changing requirements and early product life cycle tests difficult. The System-on-Demand and model-based test approach delivered through the new collaboration will shorten time-to-market schedules, reduce operational expenses, integrate labs, and optimize data and assets, resulting in more time spent ensuring the quality and safety of future products and less on building test systems.

“As both a developer and manufacturer for flight certified electronics and a specialist in aerospace electronics test systems, SET brings a deep understanding of the full development process,” explains Frank Heidemann, founder and CEO of SET. “Customers can no longer afford long processes as they strive for a faster time to market. Through our collaboration, we expect to find answers and fill a critical gap in the industry.”

“Incremental improvements to the status quo are not good enough,” adds Chris Bakker, CEO of Tech180. “Currently, there’s an enormous amount of duplicate engineering spent on test, consuming resources that should be going towards research and development. Achieving the velocity of innovation companies require means a fundamental shift in the approach to test. A streamlined test strategy is the key to a better product strategy, and this collaboration provides the path to this evolution at scale.”

At NI, we bring together the people, ideas and technology so forward thinkers and creative problem solvers can take on humanity’s biggest challenges. From data and automation to research and validation, we provide the tailored, software-connected systems engineers and enterprises need to Engineer Ambitiously™ every day.

Thunderbird Entertainment Announces Development of a Premium Limited Drama Series Based on the Life of Wernher Von Braun

Thunderbird Entertainment Announces Development of a Premium Limited Drama Series Based on the Life of Wernher Von Braun

“Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War” – the controversial story of the father of America’s space program is being adapted for television

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Great Pacific Media, the factual division of Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV:TBRD) (OTCQX:THBRF) (“Thunderbird” or the “Company”) is proud to announce the development of a premium scripted drama series based on the father of the American Space Program and former Nazi scientist Wernher Von Braun, entitled Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War.

The series is based on Canadian author Michael J. Neufeld’s definitive biography about Von Braun, a man who became an American hero, who was also one of the most controversial people ever to join NASA. Like Von Braun, the United States shared a vision for space travel, which led to the decision to bring the controversial German V-2 Rocket builder to work at NASA after World War II. The result was a complex, often uncomfortable alliance that culminated in Neil Armstrong successfully landing on the moon in 1969.

Leading the creative is Simon Barry (Warrior Nun, Continuum, Bad Blood), who is also attached as an Executive Producer, writer and director through his production company Reality Distortion Field (RDF). Thunderbird’s President Mark Miller will also Executive Produce on behalf of Great Pacific Media. Thunderbird and Miller acquired the book’s intellectual property (IP) from the Smithsonian Institution in 2019.

“Without Von Braun and his team of engineers, America would have lost the space race to the Russians,” says Mark Miller, President of Thunderbird. “This fascinating story is about whitewashing the history of men who played a major role in engineering the Nazi regime. At the centre, Von Braun and an American government were desperate to win the space race at all costs.”

Thunderbird has selected the story of Von Braun to launch its new initiative to develop dramatic scripted content that is based on real events through Great Pacific Media. The Space Race is a globally uplifting story, while the work of Nazi engineers is a murderous stain on history. This series will explore Von Braun’s childhood dreams of interplanetary travel and dramatize the choices he made to fund his rockets, his vision for World War II Germany, and later, the United States. After being Hitler’s greatest hope to destroy London, Von Braun became an American space pioneer who would win America’s National Medal of Science, while avoiding the war crime courts of Nuremberg.

“The story ofVon Braunis set to be a breakthrough television event with global reach,” continued Miller. “He was a man caught between morality and progress – glorified as a visionary and vilified as a war criminal.”

About Thunderbird Entertainment Group

Thunderbird Entertainment Group is a global award-winning, full-service, multiplatform production, distribution, and rights management company, headquartered in Vancouver, with additional offices in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Ottawa.
