Curtiss-Wright Debuts Industry’s First 8th Gen Intel Xeon-based 3U OpenVPX Single Board Computer.

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.

Curtiss-Wright honored with five Innovators Awards, including one Platinum, three Gold, and one Silver, for its OpenHPEC™ Accelerator Suite software, DuraCOR 312 miniature mission computer, DTS1 data transport system, VPX3-687 3U Ethernet switch, and Fortress flight data recorder

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division will be displaying its latest vetronics, avionics, and naval platform products at the Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) conference at ExCel, London, UK, September 12-15, 2017.

Paul Davis looks at how netbooting provides a superior alternative solution for installing and updating software that delivers huge labor savings.

First offering, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) base system speed development of high-performance deployed applications.

Features NVIDIA TX2 with 6-core 64-bit Armv8 processor, NVIDIA Pascal GPU, double the RAM/Flash memory, and addition of vehicle CANbus interfaces.

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.
