Certifying Multi-Core Processing Following AMC 20-193/AC 20-193 Objectives
This white paper examines the key challenges multi-core processors present in safety-certifiable systems, and the traditional and newer, more effective techniques for alleviating them to ensure MCP-based systems will safely perform their intended functions.
Ultra-Small Form Factor Mission Systems: Great Things Come in Small Packages
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.
Small Form Factor (SFF) Mission System Modularity Enables Choice of Distributed or Consolidated Architectures
This white paper explores how some of the use-case considerations and technological advances are driving system integrators to pursue a distributed over a consolidated system architecture and visa-versa.
Addressing the Environmental and Operational Issues for Data Acquisition Systems Onboard Space Launch Vehicles
This white paper looks in more detail at the environmental and operational issues for space launch vehicles and suggests solutions based on existing ruggedized COTS data acquisition systems (DAS),
Radiation Mitigation in Space: A COTS Approach
This white paper discusses how a novel approach to radiation mitigation allows the use of COTS electronics equipment in a radiation environment, thereby lowering the cost involved in the design, certification, manufacture, and deployment of such a system.
