Intel's Xeon-D 10 Gig connectivity drives demand for VITA 76 connector high-speed signal integrity
Mike Southworth looks at how the recent introduction of Intel's first Xeon System-on-a-Chip (SoC) device, the Xeon-D (codenamed "Broadwell DE"), dramatically changes the range of options for designers of high-performance small-form-factor (SFF) mission computers.
Truly Rugged and Proven Reliable: VITA 47 and Beyond
Aaron Frank and Ivan Straznicky look at VITA 47. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard VITA 47 gives system integrators a baseline for reliable and rugged products.
Scale Down Rugged Mission Computers…and Still Boost Performance?
The Xeon-D SoC has more cores and threads per CPU (up to 16 cores/32 threads), helping designers upgrade mission computers without the SWaP concerns.
ANSI/VITA 48.8 Urges More Convection Cooling for VPX-Based Systems
The newly ratified ANSI/VITA 48.8 standard looks to reduce the dependence on conduction cooling for 3U and 6U circuit cards with VPX connectors.
Getting Up to Speed on NSA-approved Two-layer Commercial Encryption
Paul Davis looks at how CSfC allows system designers to now deploy a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution with encrypted data protection for Type 1 products reducing time and cost.
VITA 48.8 Air-Flow Cooling Almost Doubles Avionics Payload
William Wong from Electronic Design looks at how the VITA 48.8 standard could revolutionize rugged and airborne systems, especially those constrained by SWaP issues.
ANSI/VITA 48.8 Ratification Opens Gates for New Embedded Cooling, RF and Microwave Cooling
John Keller from Military & Aerospace looks at how two U.S. standards organizations have ratified an open-systems specification for advanced air-flow-through cooling in high-performance embedded computing, RF and microwave applications.
COM Express Hot Among Military Electronics Users While CompactPCI Levels Off
John McHale speaks to Mike Southworth about COM Express, the fastest growing standard, thanks to its flexibility and reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) characteristics.
Zen and the Art of HPEC Software Debugging
Tammy Carter looks at how debugging tools are expanding the ability to produce quality and more robust software for HPEC systems.
DSEI 2017: MAST System guides helicopters
Don McKay, Curtiss-Wright speaks to Helen Haxell about developing a manual aircraft securing and traversing (MAST) handling system, which is expected to be utilized by navies around the world.
