MathWorks, the leading developer of mathematical computing software for designing engineered systems, will highlight a digital twin capability at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2026. The capability integrates validated RF hardware models from global semiconductor leader Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) into system‑ and mission‑level simulation, enabling earlier design and verification of complex radar and satellite communication systems. ADI’s RF and phased-array product portfolios support system-level design and verification of complex radar and satellite communication systems. Building on longstanding technical work together, integration with ADI products enables engineers to assess architectural trade-offs and performance earlier in the design cycle, before the hardware configuration is finalized. Radar and satellite communication platforms increasingly rely on reconfigurable, wideband phased array architectures that must support multiple missions on shared hardware. These systems tightly couple RF, digital signal processing, and system design. As a result, component-level analysis alone is no longer sufficient to predict system behavior. Through their joint

DXC Technology, a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, announced that it has been selected by Perth Airport as Master Systems Integrator (MSI) for the new terminal development, a key milestone in the airport’s multi-billion-dollar investment to transform its infrastructure and support Western Australia’s long-term economic growth.

Hexagon announces new capabilities in ESPRIT EDGE, designed to reduce CNC programming effort, improve process predictability, and help manufacturers manage increasingly complex machining environments. As machine capability advances, the effort required to program and verify those machines continues to grow. The new features directly address that challenge. The first of four planned updates in 2026 introduces targeted enhancements across turning automation, Swiss-type machining, multi-axis toolpath generation, heavy machining, and cloud-connected workflows. Extending automation across turning and Swiss machining The latest release introduces ProPlanAI for turning, mill-turn, and Swiss programming, extending AI-assisted programming into a wider range of applications. By accounting for factors such as stock removal and previous machining strategies, it supports more accurate process definition while reducing manual input. This shortens programming time, reduces reliance on test cuts, and ensures proven machining strategies are applied more consistently across teams. Support for multiple guide bushing configurations is now built directly into machine models, enabling

Accenture and the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) launched the AI Adoption Maturity Model, a research-validated framework designed to help organizations move beyond AI experimentation to scale artificial intelligence with measurable, repeatable outcomes. The model provides a structured approach for commercial enterprises and government organizations to assess their current AI capabilities, identify gaps and build a clear roadmap for responsible, value-driven AI adoption. “Many AI maturity models in the market now focus on high-level strategy without considering the engineering rigor that organizations actually need to scale,” said Manish Sharma, Chief Strategy and Services Officer at Accenture. “What we’ve built with the SEI is fundamentally different. It’s grounded in decades of maturity-modeling discipline, validated through real-world pilots with Fortune 500 companies, and designed to meet organizations where they are across eight critical dimensions of AI readiness. This practitioner-focused framework helps leaders move from AI ambition to measurable, repeatable outcomes.” "Organizations achieve lasting AI value
