Emerging standards such as VITA 100 and VNX+ will double board and backplane speeds, add a new board size, and help make tiny computers possible for handheld devices and uncrewed devices.

High performance embedded module and system designers must understand the technical considerations required to fully realize the true benefits of 100G technology.

Here’s how it usually goes: Faced with the need to upgrade an older platform or design a new one, a prime contractor will select – where it makes most sense in terms of risk, cost, and time – a mix of COTS [commercial off-the-shelf] suppliers and system integrators to function as subcontractors that will develop and build the various subsystems their program demands.

How do you design vehicle electronics (vetronics) to be easily upgraded as technology inevitably marches forward? These are the issues the defense industry must focus on in 2024 and beyond.

In this Feature BATTLESPACE looks inside the turret of an armoured vehicle with those manufacturers who design and develop these systems, Curtiss-Wright, IEE Displays, Oxley and BCB International.

System integrators seeking secure data-at-rest (DAR) solutions for deployed sensor-rich platforms are faced with handling increasing amounts of data from an ever-greater number of more powerful onboard sensors.

Curtiss-Wright, in collaboration with Wind River, Ansys, and CoreAVI, demonstrated a new digital cockpit flight display at the 2024 MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo.
