Optimizing Performance, Security, and SWaP at the Tactical Edge

Optimized for performance, speed, security, and SWaP, Curtiss-Wright CHAMP-XD1 processor cards leverage Intel® Xeon® D processor architecture to meet the high demands of modern defense missions.

The threats facing today’s defense and aerospace personnel are more diverse and sophisticated than ever. This has implications for the many systems and applications they use. Ruggedized components must perform in the harshest of environmental conditions and extreme temperature ranges. To help keep military assets and personnel safe from compromises, embedded defense electronics also need protection from physical attacks, remote data breaches, and hardware and software failures as well. This takes layers of advanced, integrated cybersecurity technologies, given the vast amounts of confidential data generated, stored, and transmitted at the tactical edge.
