Curtiss-Wright data acquisition units support SLS test data collection goal

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

Curtiss-Wright honored with five Innovators Awards: three Gold for Parvus DuraMAR 6300, VPX3-673 Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) card, VME-1910 single board computer, and two Silver for ADSR-4003 Advanced Data Server and Recorder and GVDU LCD touchscreen Ground Vehicle Display Unit.

Size, weight, power consumption, and cooling technologies today block quantum computing from the embedded world, but new generations should yield advances in artificial intelligence and computer security.

Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is having an influence on military logistics, and helps supply personnel get replacement parts where and when they’re needed — even on the front lines.

The wave of commercially developed communications and remote-sensing satellites seeks to balance costs, capability, size, weight, and power consumption in the latest new space designs.

Contested space, where nations compete for military dominance outside Earth’s atmosphere, is driving many military space platforms, but commercial space and small satellites continue to change the way the military suppliers of space electronics approach radiation-hardened component design from testing to deployment.

Industry experts say open standards are helping drive development in small-form-factor battlefield and aerospace hardware like system-on-chip and single-board computers.
