On Fish Fry, host Amelia Dalton speaks with Aaron Frank of Curtiss-Wright about the evolution of processing for embedded systems and the biggest benefits of hybrid processors.

Taken to the extreme, today’s high-end graphics processors (GPUs) can execute thousands of simultaneous operations, which is fundamental for highly parallel 3D visualizations and complex AI [artificial intelligence] processing tasks.

Power, reliability and real-time computing capabilities are just some of the advantages of using multicore processors.

From the outside, the turret system on a ground vehicle may appear a straightforward mechanism.

Through-armor video systems provide in-vehicle crews of manned and remote crews of unmanned ground vehicles with critical visibility and situational awareness. This vital visual information needs to be accessible as close to real-time as possible.

Industrial participation is seen as a way to develop and maintain production, technology and expertise, so that critical defense products and services can continue to be produced under emergency conditions.

In support of the Australian Army’s Project Land 400 Phase 2 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle (CRV), Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions’ Switzerland-based Drive Technology business is supplying its modular Turret Drive Servo System (TDSS) and hand controller technologies to Rheinmetall Landsysteme.

Aviation cybersecurity mandates by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are coming in the next two years.
