Jacob Sealander describes how 3U VPX COTS processing systems or line replaceable units can meet the demands for size, weight, power and cost optimized needs for aerospace and defense programs.

Crash survivable flight data recorders help accident investigators discover the cause of an incident, but they can do much more.

In this blog we discuss the leveraging of COTS technology based on programmatic requirements through the use of Modified COTS.

Back in 1994, a famous memo was issued by William Perry, at the time the U.S. Secretary of Defense. This memo became known as the ‘Perry memo’ and it directed the department of defense to use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products where possible rather than custom built solutions.

Discussion on civil and military applications where the video is a core component of the mission success.

Jacob Sealander discusses how the modular design of Curtiss-Wright mission computers enables rapid expansion and scalability for integrating additional processing capabilities and payload-specific I/O interfaces for avionics, vetronics, and other...

Paul Davis and Matt Young discuss today's sensor-rich applications in defense and aerospace applications that have unique requirements and how to apply those needs to COTS solutions for a application-specific data recording system.
