Hypersonic platforms provide a challenge for flight test campaigns due to the application’s flight profiles and environments.

The goal of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also called quantum-resistant cryptography (QRC), is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.

In this second paper, we cover challenges for deploying QR encryption, including pre-shared key (PSK) management, RFC 8784 - an extension of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v2 that allows it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using PSKs, and how to implement data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit (DIT) QR encryption solutions today using commercial FPGA devices and off-the-shelf hardware.

The goal of reducing the cost of equipping Army vehicles with new capabilities, while adding increasing interoperability and flexibility of operation, can be accomplished through the use of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), a technical and business strategy for designing an affordable and adaptable system.

There is a popular industry misconception that Intel processors draw more power than Power Architecture and Arm processors. This paper discusses how that is not the case.

Modern flight test programs generate huge amounts of data that require interrogation to investigate phenomena and ascertain program status as well as for use in final reporting.

This white paper examines the different approaches to building a comprehensive FTI system, the advantages and disadvantages of mixing different vendors’ products, and the likely impact of future developments.

Building connected and workable communications in remote environments presents unique challenges, but the right technology can keep users connected in even contested and harsh environments.

For many aircraft, there is sufficient space to place data acquisition units (DAU), recorders, and transmitters in a dedicated instrumentation rack and/or throughout the aircraft. However, there are several aircraft where there is very limited space.

This white paper highlights the challenges with video system architecture design by looking at a traditional system versus an ideal system solution.

This white paper discusses an approach where data acquisition units (DAU) conduct the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis in real-time to optimize PCM telemetry bandwidth.
