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.

High speed cameras are used to capture pictures of very rapid events that would be impossible to capture with normal cameras.

Military-display designers continue to face stringent size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints while integrating commercial innovations like HD – and soon 4K – into systems that must work with legacy sensors and interfaces while also complying with a variety of open architectures and standards.

Today’s modern warfighters have grown up with smartphones and tablets with intuitive, multitouch projected capacitive (PCAP) touch screens. They rely heavily on these devices in their personal lives and they expect to have access to the same capabilities and conveniences in the field.

Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is having an influence on military logistics, and helps supply personnel get replacement parts where and when they’re needed — even on the front lines.

In flight test instrumentation applications, high-speed cameras are essential for conducting photogrammetric studies to validate performance prediction models. Read about Curtiss-Wright's recently introduced high-speed camera.
