White Paper: High-Speed Data Recording Insights for the Military Embedded Industry
With the advent of high-speed networks, such as 40GbE and faster, it is essential to change the approach of how network data is recorded and stored while utilizing the total throughput of the available link.
Curtiss-Wright conducted a comprehensive feasibility study of different data recording technologies and performed extensive testing of various protocols. This paper introduces the results of those tests and then presents the comparative data.

Unmanned Surface Vehicle Requires NetBoot and Commercial Encryption
Tasked with building a new Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a shipbuilder faced challenging requirements. The developer planned to connect all the computer systems via a one gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) network. In such a network, the systems would be able to share critical mission and map data and distribute sensor data gathered during the mission, such as terrain information and threat assessments. A network-attached storage (NAS) device would store and distribute data to the various clients, thus supporting the autonomous operation.
