Curtiss-Wright provided the flight test instrumentation equipment used to capture the flight data during the test flight.

For rugged DSP (digital signal processing) processor cards, it is important to have a balance between processor performance, memory bandwidth, I/O bandwidth, and ruggedization.

Trying to strike a balance between power and security with data-at-rest in the field – and doing it all within a highly constrained space in an environment with dirt and moisture that threatens to damage expensive equipment – is a tall order indeed.

Curtiss-Wright provides the telemetry data system used on the Vega-C Launcher.

Warfighters on the battlefield have relied on wireless communications for more than 80 years, dating back to the first Motorola ‘manpack’ radio used by the Army Signal Corps in the 1940s.

New technologies such as virtualisation, sensor improvements and data fusion are enhancing the effect of CMS on modern fleets, allowing greater range and faster transfer of critical information.

Paul Davis looks at the use of Network Attached Storage and Network Booting in deployed systems.

Upgraded systems require security to be built-in to protect sensitive mission information and maintain warfighter technology advantage.
