Trident Space & Defense, headquartered in Torrance, California, specialises in high-reliability electronics components, innovative
semiconductor packaging, survivable data storage, and ultra-rugged solid state drives (SSDs). Trident also designs and operates
turnkey ground stations for national space agencies. For over 30 years, Trident has delivered high-reliability electronic components and
subsystems to the aerospace and defence industries.
In December, 2010, Trident became a subsidiary of TeleCommunications Systems (TCS) of Annapolis, Maryland. Trident extends
TCS’s expertise in end-to-end secure wireless communications, and provides an AS/EN/JISQ9100/ISO 9001-certified engineering design and packaging centre for TCS’s SwiftLink line of satellite-based communication systems.
Trident Space & Defense has three business units:
- Advanced products group (APG)
- Electronic components group
- Ground systems group
For over 30 years, Trident Space & Defense has supplied a wide variety of memory modules to the space and military communities. To meet the needs for increased data storage, non-volatile memory and very low-power solid state data recorders, Trident Space &
Defense provides an 8-Gbit Radiation Tolerant SLC NAND Flash Module, under DOC classification EAR99 no license required dual
use.
The 8-Gbit memory module consists of a single 8-Gbit (1024Mx8) die in a 48-lead ceramic package and is configured as an
asynchronous NAND Flash. The module is based on SLC NAND technology and meets all Class level S requirements as defined in
MIL-PRF-38535.
Existing or prospective customers interested in receiving further details of this advanced NAND Flash Module are invited to visit our website or contact us directly.
