J.R. Wilson with Military & Aerospace Electronics considers how Passive sensor systems may be ready to come into their own, as high-performance embedded computing technology becomes powerful enough to handle massive computing loads.

Marc Couture discussed the role of FPGAs in cognitive EW.

While VPX offers many advantages, military system developers should consider the hybrid form factor approach. Small form factor technologies like COMe Compact, Mini PCIe and PC/104 provide a lot of flexibility, especially when combined.

Kevin Rooney discusses common issues such as waterproofing, operating in extended temperature ranges, readability challenges, and glare with rugged LCD mission displaying.

J.R. Wilson with Military & Aerospace Electronics describes how adapting different EO/IR sensors to work together can become greater than the sum of their parts.

John Keller with Military & Aerospace Electronics considers how virtual-machine technology, fast interconnects, innovative thermal-management techniques, and modular architectures bring data-center power to embedded computing.

Curtiss-Wright demonstrates the industry's first AFT cooled 3U VPX COTS system at ETT 2016 symposium.

We discuss the longevity of supply concerns that can keep embedded military program managers up at night in the Power Architecture Today Blog.
