WALPOLE, Ma. The U.S. Navy?s Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) fleet will receive United Electronic Industries' (UEI) DNR-MIL series I/O control chassis along with its VxWorks BSP as the new Command, Control, Computers, Communication, and Navigation (C4N) SBC4 Control, Alarm, and Monitoring System (CAMS).

Support from VxWorks allowed for the system to preserve much of the previous software. I/O provided by the CAMS unit includes analog input and output, digital I/O, 16 serial ports and MIL-STD-1553 all connected through standard military style 38999 connectors.

UEI officials say the Navy’s decision to select DNR-MIL was because it met the required MIL-STD-810 and -461 environmental specifications.
