Commonality and reduced SWaP drive vetronics designs
2 weeks ago — John McHale, Editorial Director, OpenSystems MediaBudget cuts and changing strategic priorities have slowed the military vetronics market to one that is flat for the foreseeable future. However, innovation in electronics design has not slowed, as military embedded system suppliers develop creative ways to introduce more commonality in components to navigate the budget-constrained environment and continue to meet reduced Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements.

Encryption and the migration to COTS technologies
2 weeks ago — Rubin Dhillon, GE Intelligent PlatformsThe network is becoming increasingly crucial to the world’s armed forces. Unsurprisingly, it uses the same technologies that are proven in the commercial world, with much of the equipment sourced by the armed forces being of COTS origin. But the military needs a level of security – anti-tamper, information assurance, data destruction, encryption – way beyond what the commercial world requires. COTS solutions have emerged that leverage the innovations driving the commercial mobile data industry while addressing specific military security concerns such as encryption.

Small form factor designs balance performance, power
2 months ago — Brandon LewisWhether next to the sensor on a UAV payload, in a vetronics mission computer, or in a helicopter’s avionics bay, computer architectures are shrinking, requiring smaller form factors with the same performance punch as larger designs. The embedded COTS community is offering various Small Form Factor (SFF) flavors – off-the-shelf or customized – while industry groups such as VITA are developing standards to provide some order to the growing SFF demand.

Military avionics designs embrace common standards and TRLs
2 months ago — John McHale, Editorial Director, OpenSystems MediaThe task of improving situational awareness for military pilots in a tough budget climate with little development funding available requires designers to use open architectures and common standards to keep costs down. This trend also has fueled the enthusiasm behind the FACE Consortium, which promises long-term potential savings of billions of dollars by enabling software reuse across multiple avionics platforms.
