William Wong from Electronic Design looks at how the VITA 48.8 standard could revolutionize rugged and airborne systems, especially those constrained by SWaP issues.

The emergence of smaller components with more processing capability while operating at much lower power has had the counterintuitive effect of increasing thermal density, with designers expected to pack even more functionality into ever-smaller spaces.

Paul Davis looks at how CSfC allows system designers to now deploy a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution with encrypted data protection for Type 1 products reducing time and cost.

Airborne solution combines L3Harris’s FACE conformant FliteScene® Digital Moving Map Software, Green Hills, and Pre-Validated Board-sets for Embedded Defense Applications.

John Keller from Military & Aerospace looks at how two U.S. standards organizations have ratified an open-systems specification for advanced air-flow-through cooling in high-performance embedded computing, RF and microwave applications.

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions was awarded First Place in the category of Military & Aerospace design excellence by Mentor at its 27th Annual PCB Technology Leadership Awards ceremony.
