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.

Efficient execution is key to real-time mission-critical operating systems software, yet new demands are emerging such as safety-critical operations for avionics and other life-critical applications.

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.

Paul Davis looks at how netbooting provides a superior alternative solution for installing and updating software that delivers huge labor savings.
