Advanced single-board computers (SBC) are integral to managing complex sensor data within aircraft subsystems in the aerospace and defense sector. An international aerospace developer faced a challenge when a SBC, adhering to the ANSI/VITA 46 standards, required additional storage to handle persistent sensor data, which needed to be processed, analyzed, and displayed in real time for the aircrew.
Not intended for offloading, the data would remain on-site, requiring a durable and high-capacity storage solution. Additionally, the developer sought a switched mezzanine card (XMC) compatible with the VITA 42 XMC standards to ensure seamless integration with the conduction-cooled SBC without impacting system performance. Initially, 512 GB of storage was required, with the flexibility to expand as future needs grew.
