Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Collins Aerospace Approved to Begin Full Rate Production of MAPS Gen II system
March 13, 2025 | Collins AerospaceEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has received approval for Full Rate Production of the Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Generation II system (MAPS GEN II).
Following the fifth delivery order of the jam-and-spoof-resistant navigation solution, Collins will produce thousands of MAPS units for installation on U.S. Army and U.S. Marines Corps' combat ground vehicles including military watercraft. MAPS fuses sensor data including satellite navigation information and secured positioning, navigation and timing data for crewed and uncrewed ground vehicles.
"Through close coordination with our customer, we've met the modernized fielding requirements for MAPS while reducing production costs," said Sandy Brown, vice president and general manager for Resilient Navigation Solutions, Collins Aerospace. "MAPS GEN II is a critical part of the DOD's modernization goals and will provide the warfighter with trusted access to Assured PNT when they need it most."
MAPS GEN II is comprised of the company's NavHub™-100 navigation system and Multi-Sensor Antenna System (MSAS-100) and supports multiple mission sets including combat, artillery fires, air and missile defense, ship-to-shore and contested logistics. Collins offers additional scalable configurations of NavHub™-100 navigation system and Multi-Sensor Antenna System (MSAS-100).
