Will This PCB Material Still Be Available in 30 Years?

June 16, 2026 | Laura Martin, Isola

One of the most common questions I receive from aerospace and defense customers has nothing to do with dielectric constant, dissipation factor, or thermal performance. Instead, the conversation often starts with a simple question: "If we design this material into our platform today, will it still be available in 30 years?"

Autonomous systems are rapidly reshaping the defense landscape. Unmanned aerial systems, autonomous maritime vessels, robotic ground vehicles, loitering munitions, and AI-enabled sensing platforms are now integral components of modern military operations. AI may serve as the brain of an autonomous system, but advanced PCBs form the foundation that allows those capabilities to operate reliably in the field.
