Leveraging Secure Commercial Routing Technology to Protect Data-in-motion
Protecting a military platform’s secret data-in-motion as it’s routed over an Ethernet-based IP network has become significantly easier, more affordable, and faster to deploy in recent years, thanks to U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) support of commercial encryption technologies.
Transitioning to C-Band for Flight-Test Telemetry
The U.S. Government’s auction of flight-test telemetry bands has resulted in crowded frequencies in the remaining spectrum. But the transition to the C-band has been slow. Here’s how tri-band transmitters can help in adopting the new requirements.
New Frontiers in Real-time Software
Efficient execution is key to real-time mission-critical operating systems software, yet new demands are emerging such as safety critical operations for avionics and other life-critical applications.
