Egide Signs a Major Contract in the US with Textron Systems.Egide Signs a 5 Year Agreement to Supply the American Defense Program Textron System's Sensor Fuzed Weapon System TRAPPES, France -- Egide (Paris:GID 1. (operating system) gid - group identifier. 2. (filename extension) gid - global index. ), the only major player totally dedicated to the field of the protection and networking of electronic and optical chips by hermetic packaging and the sector's European leader, announced today the signing of a 5 year agreement with the American company Textron Systems. As a major competitor in the US aerospace and military industry, Egide will supply its partner with hermetic packages for its military Sensor Fuzed Weapon Program, otherwise known as CBU-105. The agreement, covering 5 years, plans for Egide to make very complex casings for a total value of $1 million in 2007. According to Philippe Bregi, Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Egide, "This agreement is the result of many years of collaboration between Egide and Textron Systems. It marks the recognition of Egide's know-how and expertise when it comes to all hermetic package technology. I am very proud of this success which demonstrates the excellence of our manufacturing plant in Cambridge (Maryland - USA)." Textron Systems' Sensor Fuzed Weapon Program The SFW SFW Science Fiction Weekly SFW Safe for Work (website links) SFW Solaris Freeware (open source software delivered in Solaris and supported by Sun) SFW Sensor Fuzed Weapon SFW Suitable for Work System is the primary intelligent weapon in production for the US Air Force. SFW is designed to accurately detect and defeat multiple threat targets. This weapon uses complex, sensitive and fragile chips. The total hermeticity of the networking is therefore necessary to guarantee the functioning and invulnerability in·vul·ner·a·ble adj. 1. Immune to attack; impregnable. 2.

Egide: Number 2 in the world and European leader The components used in these packages are the result of a sophisticated know-how that incorporates several disciplines: material structures and notably special alloys, chemistry and electroplating electroplating: see plating. electroplating Process of coating with metal by means of an electric current. Plating metal may be transferred to conductive surfaces (e.g., metals) or to nonconductive surfaces (e.g. , mechanics and thermodynamics, electronics, optoelectronics and microwave frequency modelling. Egide is one of the few international competitors to master all the technologies in use with the two groups of materials that are today used for these packages around the world: glass-metal and ceramics. Egide's great expertise of glass-metal technology (required for the SFW program), of brazing brazing, method of joining metal parts using nonferrous filler metals with high melting points such as copper, silver, and aluminum alloys. Brazing differs from soldering (see solder) by using a higher temperature; and unlike welding, the parts are not melted. and of plating has made the difference for Egide with this significant agreement.
