Network attached data acquisition leads to configuration freedom - Story
February 10, 2009
Multichannel, low-frequency signal processing architectures used in test and measurement, vibration analysis, and acoustic processing (sonar) are undergoing revolutionary changes and diverging from equivalent high-frequency military applications such as imaging, signals intelligence, digital radio, or radar.

Image fusion enhances light armored vehicle capability - Story
November 11, 2008
There is a wide variety of video imaging sensors, each offering optimal viewing or detection characteristics depending on the type of object being observed and the meteorological, lighting, or background conditions. To maximize the probability of detection, images from more than one sensor can be compared in real time to maintain image context and highlight objects of interest. Images can be displayed from each sensor side-by-side for an operator to discriminate directly.

Freescale Semiconductor's 8640D rekindles SBC power - Story
September 19, 2008
Continued customer demand for more functionality and performance in the same or smaller space envelope, consuming less power, drives every new generation of SBC and DSP engine to stretch the limits of power dissipation in the highly competitive 6U VMEbus, VXS, and VPX rugged embedded computing market. Advanced semiconductor processing and packaging technology now offer COTS vendors the possibility to pack in more functionality and compute performance than can be adequately cooled.

Avionics bus interface revolution - Story
July 08, 2008
Avionics buses are traditionally slow to evolve, partly because requirements change so slowly and partly because of the costs of development, certification, and sustainment. It is with the development of new airplanes that the demand for new bus architectures evolves. This can be seen in the adoption of Fibre Channel for JSF and ARINC 664, also known as AFDX for new Boeing and Airbus airplane types.

Advanced image processing enables UAVs to fulfil their potential - Story
July 08, 2008
Real-time image processing hardware has significant potential to efficiently and practically solve a number of problems currently faced by autonomous systems. A recent trial for autonomous airborne refuelling has demonstrated the potential - and great success - of applying image processing to an extremely challenging problem.

COTS life-cycle management matures in changing market - Story
June 24, 2008
Rigorous component-level obsolescence management is becoming a priority in light of maintenance infrastructure reductions, operational maintenance changes, and shifting equipment life expectations.

COTS: That which can change, changes - Story
June 24, 2008
The COTS market has unquestionably changed over time. The question is: Does COTS still deliver the values that it was originally envisaged would be delivered?
