Analysis of the latest technologies being developed by avionics OEMs for the emerging eVTOL market.

The advent of unmanned systems reflects a huge aspect of warfare – that of protecting the warfighter – through the development of platforms that can be operated by humans from a distance, keeping them out of harm’s way.

New PacStar® 464 Secure Wi-Fi Access Point module seamlessly integrates Wi-Fi network access, meshing, and client access for secure networks.

New A-PNT vehicle computer and Gigabit Ethernet switch provide Chip Scale Atomic Clock, Inertial Measurement Unit and direct connection to real-time Global Positioning System (GPS).

Today, multiple echelons - platoon, company, battalion, brigade, and division – are all trying to communicate with each other using different mechanisms, whether via line of sight (LOS) radios or beyond line of sight (BLOS) satellite communications (SATCOM).

As the U.S. Navy increases its investment in its fleet of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), suppliers of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, providing solutions for mission computers, network switches, and routers, and data storage are meeting the needs of these unique platforms.

To maintain warfighter overmatch, the US military must deploy advanced technologies for situational awareness to the edge of the battlefield.

Military experts are developing new enabling technologies to help unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, submarines, and surface vessels swarm and make decisions without human intervention.
