Pickering Interfaces to showcase modular switching and simulation tools for aerospace
28/07/2025
Pickering Interfaces is set to present its latest high-voltage switching and sensor simulation products at the upcoming Aerospace Test & Development Show in Toulouse, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to supporting aerospace and defence test systems.
With nearly 25 years in the test and measurement industry, Kyle Voosen, product marketing manager at Pickering, brings deep insight into the evolving needs of aerospace testing. “This show stands out because it goes beyond RF and electronic warfare,” he said. “It’s one of the few events focused on physical measurements, data acquisition, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation – areas where we thrive.”
At the core of Pickering’s offering is signal switching, routing, and simulation technology – crucial in testing today’s complex aerospace systems. “We’re the worldwide leader in modular switching systems,” Voosen said. “With more than 2,000 switch products, we offer an unmatched range and customisability, which is essential when customers are testing bespoke, mission-critical equipment.”
Longevity is another hallmark of the company’s value proposition. Pickering still supports products introduced in the 1990s, an essential quality for aerospace customers who rely on systems designed to last decades. “If the aircraft you're testing will be flying and undergoing maintenance for 40 years, you need test equipment with a matching lifecycle,” Voosen explained.
Visitors to Pickering’s stand can expect to see three key product areas. First, the company will unveil its new high-voltage reed relay line – the 600 Series – rated to switch 12.5 kV, 3 A up to 200 watts. Second, Pickering will showcase high-voltage programmable resistor modules, crucial for simulating resistive sensors and performing isolation tests between high and low voltage domains. Lastly, the company will debut a high-speed resolver simulator, designed to test rotational components within aerospace controllers, including fault conditions and edge-case scenarios.
Voosen also highlighted key challenges facing aerospace test engineers, particularly the surge in embedded software and the growing integration of high-voltage components. “Test engineers now need to validate increasing lines of safety-critical code and ensure seamless operation between low and high-voltage domains,” he noted.
As for expectations from the event, Voosen said Pickering is keen to build international connections, strengthen ties with system integrators, and engage with industry peers. “We’re excited to meet customers, partners, and even competitors. It’s an invaluable opportunity to explore the ecosystem we all operate in.”
