As the U.S. Navy increases its investment in its fleet of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), suppliers of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, providing solutions for mission computers, network switches, and routers, and data storage are meeting the needs of these unique platforms.

New computer boards offer high performance, thermal management, and peripherals in a smaller size than 3U VPX, with artificial intelligence (AI) and GPGPU processing.

Integrate fully interoperable tactical data link systems efficiently and cost-effectively on manned and unmanned naval platforms with tactical data link solutions built on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems.

Learn how modular systems can help meet cost, schedule, quality, and technical requirements, while reducing risk and eliminating traditional NRE fees.

The RMF establishes security and privacy controls, and contains more than 800 controls to select from, many of which don't apply to embedded systems.

In order to keep up with the continued acceleration of new technology and to be able to protect the warfighter from the latest threats, it is essential that we can turn our deployed platforms into adaptable entities that can evolve over time and are not static. The SOSA [Sensor Open Systems Architecture] Technical Standard is the next major step in realizing this goal.

U.S. military and government information security experts try to hold the line against determined hackers seeking to break into critical computing systems from foreign governments and non-state bad actors.

Rugged data storage systems for aerospace and defense applications are moving to new data interfaces for unparalleled speed and capacity, while trusted computing and information security are driving trends.
