USFF Mission Processors and Network Switches for ISR UAV Targeting System

USFF Mission Processors and Network Switches for ISR UAV Targeting System

As unmanned vehicles become more powerful and complex, their electronics payloads must adapt to match new mission objectives. This often forces aerospace and defense system integrators to push for reductions in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

Understand the FMC Standard and Get the Result You Want

Understand the FMC Standard and Get the Result You Want

Parallels can be drawn with the FMC format: it’s a mix and match format, but creating a successful overall solution requires the selection of the right pieces, knowing their details, and how to put them together.

How Does the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Standard Measure up Against the PMC/XMC Format White Paper

Interest in reconfigurable embedded computing in the defense and aerospace market has grown significantly as new generations of FPGAs present developers with a level of processing performance and potential I/O bandwidth that cannot easily be matched by conventional CPU configurations.

Interoperability Considerations Between Different Host FMC and FMC Mezzanine Vendors White Paper

In the same way as one might strip out unnecessary weight in a car aimed for racing, the FMC is a performance solution that strips away unnecessary generic interfaces for direct FPGA driven I/O. But that requires knowledge to achieve the desired performance and to ensure the host and FMC module will work well together. This paper outlines some of the considerations in order to assess and the ensure that the host and module will integrate.
