Learning with Leo: Drones—Meeting Demand Without Compromise
05/06/2026 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoWith drones used in a wide range of applications today, particularly in modern military conflicts, domestic manufacturers are feeling pressure to produce at high volume and low cost, particularly within an NDAA supply chain ecosystem with differing needs and expectations. Two issues must be considered. First is the manufacturers’ and customers’ need for quality, reliability, and functionality of the product. Second is the manufacturing volume needed to support demand, whether for military, industrial, or commercial applications. Each segment requires verification that the product meets the customer's requirements.
Nolan’s Notes: Our Spotlight on North America
05/05/2026 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesIn this issue of SMT007 Magazine, we wrap up our electronics world tour with a final stop in the United States and Canada, where we look at the challenges, opportunities, and geopolitical dynamics affecting the market today. What makes American electronics unique? Key U.S. administration policy decisions, like tariffs, are significantly affecting electronics manufacturing. Others, such as the current conflict with Iran and the associated closures of the Strait of Hormuz, affect the raw materials that feed our supply chain.
