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.

COTS FTI System Demo Showcases “Total System Solution” Ethernet-based Data Acquisition System with Industry’s Smallest 10 GbE Recorder and Most Powerful and Future Ready DAS Solutions.

Rugged RVG-MS1 video gateway/video multiplexer manages analog & digital sensor inputs while easing operator-defined selection of mission display views.

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.

For use on Norwegian Army’s WiSENT 2 Armored Recovery Vehicle program.

Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright will provide the customer with its AVDU5500 21.5" LCD touchscreen mission display, VRDV7000 dual-channel HD-SDI video recorder, and IUPC8012-03 interface unit.

The fast growth of small satellites and their lower life cycle and launch costs has created a sizable market for low-cost electronic components that have radiation-resistant characteristics.

New XMC-FC1 Rugged Video Gateway Format Converter module supports 15 different analog and digital video formats and resolutions and ARINC-818 avionics digital video bus
