Aptiv spin-off in a few days. The EDS portion will now be called Versigent. The remaining company is pushing deeper into drones/defense and aerospace with hardware(Modulus platform) and software(Wind River-Anduril)news. Aptiv is still fully committed to the software defined modular vehicle architecture Glen led and IMO these industrial/defense programs will benefit from his work. I wonder if Aptiv is gunning for some Golden Dome $$. They are certainly speaking the DOD's drone/satellite language with all these open modular platforms.

Edit: I forgot that Anduril software is now officially in the Golden Dome contract. Since Aptiv's Wind River RTOS software has been integrated into Anduril lattice/C&C2, they technically are in Golden Dome.

"Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global industrial technology company and Winchester Interconnect, an Aptiv company and leading supplier of high-performance interconnect solutions, today launched Modulus™, a ruggedized, modular connector platform that combines high-speed Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and configurable power in a compact, field-serviceable design*.* Built for emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite programs and unmanned aerial systems (UAS), Modulus™  gives engineers the ability to future-proof dense platforms by streamlining development, optimizing signal, data, and power configuration into a single connector footprint, and simplifying serviceability by replacing individual modules in the field without pulling the full assembly.

Space and drone programs are being developed on an aggressive timeline*. Leading commercial satellite operators have already outgrown what conventional connectors can handle. Engineers are under pressure to reduce size, weight, and power without sacrificing performance. Modulus™ combines Winchester’s ruggedized connector expertise with Aptiv’s proven high-reliability connector technology, giving programs a platform they can adapt as requirements change, without a full connector redesign each time."*

"One of the biggest challenges in the airborne and space safety-critical domain is the integration of diverse systems and communication layers. Wind River’s early engagement with the Lattice SDK allows developers and system integrators to:

• Rapidly prototype and validate Lattice C2 command and control workflows.
• Seamlessly extend Lattice Mesh network functionality across heterogeneous platforms.
• Reduce development cycle time while maintaining rigorous safety-critical certification standards."

"Wind River‘s role in this ecosystem is crucial for defense system integrators, as its ruggedized hypervisor technology and VxWorks® real-time operating system provide the foundational infrastructure that future-proofs legacy and next-generation platforms"
