Electronic warfare and FPGAs: The need for speed - Story
April 12, 2017
Electronic warfare (EW), the use of the electromagnetic spectrum to foil enemy forces and protect friendly ones, is perhaps the most time-sensitive of all the weapons in the military arsenal: a matter of nanoseconds could make the difference between life and death. That's why latency is so critical to EW processing systems. If a radar-guided missile is heading for your aircraft at Mach 5, the aircraft's radar jammer had better be quick - quick to take in the signal, manipulate it, and retransmit it to fool the adversary with false targets or misleading data on size, distance, heading, speed. Digital RF memories (DRFMs), the specialized RF jammers that do just that, require receive-response latencies of 20 to 100 nanoseconds. Compared to radars - which transmit pulses and receive echoes - DRFMs - which receive pulses and retransmit the signals modulated with jamming techniques - have much more stringent latency requirements.

Safety-certifiable COTS case - Story
February 24, 2017
In commercial aviation, one of the most safety-conscious industries in existence, hardware and software developers must design and test their products according to rigorous safety standards. The most well-known are DO-254 for computer hardware, such as integrated circuits (ICs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and DO-178 for software, such as operating systems and application code.

Software: King of SWaP - Story
January 17, 2017
Size, weight, and power (SWaP) considerations have always been important for embedded electronics but will become even more critical in the future. Driving this trend in embedded system design is the plethora of small platforms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), entering the inventory. Developers of the processing systems that will be deployed on this growing cohort of small, intelligent, sometimes battery-operated platforms at the tactical edge will have to scrutinize hardware and software components to ensure the most efficient use of resources.

FACE conformance program - Story
November 17, 2016
September 2016 marked a major milestone along the long road to avionics software standardization: the last essential component of the system developed by U.S. Navy and Army aviation authorities and their suppliers clicked into place.
