Parvus® DuraCOR® 311 embedded computer and Parvus DuraNET® 20-11 8-port GbE switch to be used during flight test stage of new eVTOL aircraft’s development.

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.

In the defense industry, AI is on the path to becoming a loyal companion to the warfighter and manufacturers alike. As technology progresses, so does the range of defense capabilities that AI could not only supplement but eventually manage.

The latest generation of unmanned vehicles operating on land, in the air, and at sea no longer simply are remotely operated. These advanced systems have built-in intelligence to learn from their experiences and make their own decisions.

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.

The COTS Confidential Roundtable gathers experts from the defense electronics industry – from major prime contractors to defense component suppliers.
