It's not enough to have rugged data storage with massive capacities and solid-state storage technology; today they also must offer multi-level data encryption, quick erase, and anti-tamper features.

The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) is not the only reason for increased demand for safety- and security-related solutions.

New technologies will enable the warfighter to see more emitters simultaneously and geolocate those threats in near-real-time without compromising the ability to continue scanning the electromagnetic spectrum for other targets.

To ensure that ground combat vehicles have the most reliable and accurate PNT data, the U.S. Army is advancing a Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS) approach that enables warfighters to transition away from the use of less robust legacy GPS devices.

Rick Hearn from Curtiss-Wright looks at how COTS DO-254 safety-certifiable avionics hardware lowers cost and reduces risk.

Aircraft data acquisition technology continues to evolve with more modularity, increased processing power and real time air-to-ground transfer capabilities alongside increasing proliferation of engine, aircraft system and airframe component sensors.

In this Q&A we discuss the benefits that occur for commercial aircraft from certifying COTS hardware to DO-254 DAL A, its similarities to certifying software to DO-178C, and how it might apply to unmanned aircraft.

Paul Davis from Curtiss-Wright looks at the NSA-approved two-layer encryption approach which slashes cost and development time.
