Radiation Hardened Electronic Technologies 2026

The 2026 meeting takes place at DoubleTree Mission Valley in San Diego, California.

The audience includes the U.S. government electronics community, government organizations, industry, and academia.

It is most useful for engineers and program managers who build or buy radiation-hardened electronics for national space and missile systems, since government organizations present their plans and requirements and industry and academia present research, products and capabilities against them. The meeting is led by the Air Force Research Laboratory and draws the US government electronics community, so it suits suppliers wanting to hear requirements first-hand; commercial electronics buyers with no defense or space interest would get little from it.

Attendees at government-led defense and space technical meetings usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks, with a jacket for presenters; San Diego's mild November weather means no heavy layers are needed.
