Newer on-vehicle integrated networks will be composed of heterogeneous networks in the form of software and equipment from multiple commercial vendors.

Featured products will include ultra-small form factor mission computers and network switches, rugged high capacity storage solutions - such as the Data Transport System, and size, weight, and power (SWaP)-optimized embedded avionics systems - such as the ultra-lightweight Fortress Crash Protected Recorder.

The demo features PacStar’s IQ-Core Software network management software running on Curtiss-Wright rugged mission computers.

Curtiss-Wright, in collaboration with PacStar, will present a paper on “Managing Next Generation Open Standard Vehicle Electronics Architectures”.

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division enhanced the Parvus DuraCOR 312, the industry’s most powerful and flexible ultra-small form factor (USFF) mission computer, with the NVIDIA Jetson TX2i module.

SWaP-optimized COTS-based Digital Beachhead VICTORY-compliant network switch adds Complementary Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) services to ease modernization of ground vehicles.

David Jedynak looks at new deployed approaches for detecting threats to GPS and providing position, navigation, and timing (PNT) information to the warfighter in GPS-denied environments.

Courtney Howard looks at how military and aerospace requirements demand greater strength, speed, and capabilities in smaller form factors.

To ensure that ground combat vehicles have the most reliable and accurate PNT data, the U.S. Army is advancing a Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS) approach that enables warfighters to transition away from the use of less robust legacy GPS devices.

The DuraDBH-672, based on the proven Digital Beachhead™, now adds a reliable PNT capability to its VICTORY in-vehicle network implementation to support all vehicle platforms in GPS-denied environments.

Thanks to its longevity and modularity, the PC/104 standard continues to be popular with military system designers, especially, as their size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements continue to shrink.
