Multiple eVTOL aircraft developers from America and Europe have come to Curtiss-Wright seeking rugged COTS hardware to be used for prototyping as they develop their new aircraft platforms for production.

As unmanned vehicles become more powerful and complex, their electronics payloads must adapt to match new mission objectives. This often forces aerospace and defense system integrators to push for reductions in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

Despite the current budget woes of defense departments, the demand continues for delivering more performance and improved functionality from rugged computers and communications subsystems to fulfill mission requirements.

Andrew McCoubrey explores the causes of latency in embedded Ethernet networks and how networking features can be used to manage and reduce it.

This white paper explores how some of the use-case considerations and technological advances are driving system integrators to pursue a distributed over a consolidated system architecture and visa-versa.

Embedded systems are increasingly connected to local and wide-area networks to share data and may be unable to complete mission-critical functions if connectivity is lost. This white paper looks at high-availability networking.
