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.

The ability to provide high-voltage power on ground vehicle platforms is a rapidly growing requirement as high peak power is often needed to accelerate a high-inertia load.

COTS suppliers have focused on increasing connectivity speeds within and between systems for decades, following the introduction of the VPX standard.

From the outside, the turret system on a ground vehicle may appear a straightforward mechanism.

Industry standards and guidelines such as MOSA, SOSA, CMOSS, SAVE, and FACE are driving the latest developments in enclosures, chassis, and backplane databuses, as small for factors are ready to take center stage.

Backed by broad support from government and industry, the release of SOSA Technical Standard 1.0 promises a new era of open standards-based system integration with flexibility and interoperability as its hallmarks.

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