The CHAMP-XD4 features dual Intel Xeon D-2700 processors, and is for demanding intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissonce (ISR) system architectures.

Much of the innovation in high-performance embedded computing starts with microprocessors.

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is the world's leading supplier of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer, networking, and data storage solutions for defense and aerospace platforms. Our flexible subsystem designs can support legacy data buses, like MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429, making it fast, simple, and cost-effective to replace aging aircraft systems with modern high-performance equipment.

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

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.

A new era of Robotic Combat Vehicles (RCV) is about to begin. The U.S. Army is getting ready to evaluate competing candidates to meet requirements for light and medium versions of a new class of modular unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).

The Xeon-D SoC has more cores and threads per CPU (up to 16 cores/32 threads), helping designers upgrade mission computers without the SWaP concerns.

There is significant commonality between unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and UUV environments with standard rugged military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded solutions often applicable to both.
