The tactical data link (TDL) gateways that translate information across TDL types are notoriously difficult and time-consuming to set up and configure. Warfighters at the tactical edge of the battlefield don’t have the knowledge, skills, or time to operate them. Read the infographic to see what it takes to resolve the main issues.

Why the Hardware Vendor’s Boot Security Implementation Is So Important.

Stabilize the movements of payloads on the ground and in the air with scalable motion control systems from Drive Technology.

Imagine a new type of trainer aircraft for the twenty-first century. One that can adapt to a particular student’s requirements, transforming its’ console to match that of the specific type of aircraft the training calls for. An aircraft that lowers the cost of training for jets, while expanding on functionality and capabilities. Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., with Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, has made this ideal new teaching platform a reality. Read the case study to learn more.

This paper describes High-performance Element Processing Architecture as a basis for large array radar systems.

The use of lead-free commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for advanced technology military applications impacts the industry considerably.

Understanding Power Management of Intel Processors for Mil/Aero Applications.

This paper compares the bandwidth available to processors resident on the payload boards using the CEN16 switched architecture for Serial RapidIO and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE).

MPFR delivers weight savings with combined CVR/FDR for AgustaWestland AW139s.

In the same way as one might strip out unnecessary weight in a car aimed for racing, the FMC is a performance solution that strips away unnecessary generic interfaces for direct FPGA driven I/O. But that requires knowledge to achieve the desired performance and to ensure the host and FMC module will work well together. This paper outlines some of the considerations in order to assess and the ensure that the host and module will integrate.

COTS hardware suppliers solve embedded integration problems every day. By tapping into that expertise, system integrators are freed to better focus on the application space.
