The SEEDER research programme is a partnership of six UK entities comprising: MBDA, BAE Systems Military Air Solutions, BAE Systems Submarine Solutions, Rolls-Royce Goodrich Engine Control Systems Ltd , Laboratory Impex Systems, and Centronic. SEEDER’s aim is to formulate, prototype and demonstrate system-level and micro-chip level design solutions to maintain electronics reliability in harsh radiation environments and also applicable for high reliability applications in moderate radiation environments.
SEEDER is led by MBDA’s Radiation Effects Group, who previously led the SPAESRANE research programme. SPAESRANE was oriented to more basic research on the magnitude and growth of the problem of Single Event Effects (SEE) in electronic components from naturally occurring radiation particles in the atmosphere. It defined the pressing need for design solutions, which SEEDER is now developing.
The SEEDER research programme has a total funding level of around £3.4M of which half has been contributed by the UK government’s Technology Strategy Board. The project began in January 2008 and will be completed by January 2011.
