➀ A photonics-enabled radar system is discussed, with potential advancements in sensing technology for autonomous vehicles.

➁ Intel's 18A process is moved into risk production, aiming to compete with TSMC.

➂ The University of Glasgow develops a compostable pH sensor, a technology demonstrator with potential applications.

➃ Airbus UK is selected by ESA to build the ExoMars landing system, which will deliver a rover to Mars.

➀ The UK MoD has awarded a £127 million contract to Airbus to build a constellation of SAR-satellites called Oberon, set to be deployed in 2027.

➁ Oberon will utilize SAR technology to capture high-resolution imagery in any weather conditions, enhancing the UK's ISR capabilities.

➂ The project is part of the MoD's ISTARI programme, aiming to deploy a constellation of satellites by 2031 for various applications, including military operations and environmental monitoring.

➀ In 2024, Boeing delivered 348 commercial aircraft, while Airbus delivered 766, surpassing its 2023 figures.

➁ Boeing and Airbus were closely matched in deliveries until 2019, but Boeing faced significant financial losses due to the 737 MAX crashes and other issues.

➂ Despite facing challenges, Airbus has remained profitable since 2021, with Boeing struggling with safety concerns and financial setbacks.
