Damian Kemp with Jane's International Defence Review met with Curtiss-Wright at Xponential 2016 to discuss UAV-focused data devices.

We discuss the groundbreaking SWaP-C reduction for processor and network switch systems are enabling UAS and UGV platforms to expand their mission capabilities.

Enabling technologies are helping to drive smaller and lighter next-gen, rugged, SWaP-optimized mission computers for unmanned platforms, rotorcraft, and other applications.

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.
