Designers of high-performance embedded computing modules and systems must understand the technical considerations required to realize the true benefits of 100G technology fully.

Building connected and workable communications in remote environments presents unique challenges, but the right technology can keep users connected in even contested and harsh environments.

Curtiss-Wright has developed Fabric100, a complete end-to-end ecosystem that features 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity between rugged OpenVPX modules and system components.

The military and aerospace market maintains an insatiable appetite for smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Recent technological breakthroughs in SWaP-C reduction have yielded the introduction of USFF mission computer and networking systems.

This white paper helps systems integrators and end-users explore some of the key networking capabilities available in modern Ethernet switches and router systems designed to support intra- and inter-vehicle/aircraft network architectures.

The white paper discusses the various formats of Ethernet used in the embedded market as well as the copper and optical interface standards.

High-definition and high-speed images and video are essential for many flight test, space, and monitoring applications.

There is increasing demand for high-quality HD video for airborne applications such as flight test instrumentation (FTI). Ideally, new HD cameras can reduce the weight and difficulty of installing wiring, and enable data to be coherently combined with images through built-in compression.

Using the same cable for both power and data means that power can be delivered to devices without having to wire new circuits or requiring a separate transformer that converts AC power to DC.

Despite the current budget woes of defense departments, the demand continues for delivering more performance and improved functionality from rugged computers and communications subsystems to fulfill mission requirements.

Read this white paper to learn more about high-speed cameras and how they can provide users with the ability to conduct in-depth, quantitative analysis of their high-speed images.

In this white paper, Mike Southworth examines the pros and cons of both fiber optic and copper networking technology for today’s military and aerospace applications.
