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

The Curtiss-Wright AMMS has a high-speed embedded computing suite for high -performance processing, and a modular, scalable open-systems architecture.

The advent of unmanned systems reflects a huge aspect of warfare – that of protecting the warfighter – through the development of platforms that can be operated by humans from a distance, keeping them out of harm’s way.

Military experts are developing new enabling technologies to help unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, submarines, and surface vessels swarm and make decisions without human intervention.

Top commanders seek to embed EW capability at virtually all echelons as warfighters seek to make up for years of lost time.

Today’s embedded-system designers have a great variety of processor types to select from, with FPGAs and GPUs adding their own various advantages and disadvantages for consideration in contrast to the more familiar CPUs.

Reliable, secure communications become much more critical in unmanned systems. If communications are lost, the unmanned system may need to throttle back.

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.
