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.

Obsolescence insurance - Story

September 13, 2016
In the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) era, electronics obsolescence is a fact of life. Military demand represents only a tiny fraction of the commercial semiconductor market and the imperatives of the two sectors are worlds apart. The consumer market prizes constant innovation, despite the disruptions this drive entails. The military market, on the other hand, looks for the latest technology at the outset of a project, but requires logistics stability through extended development, production, and fielding cycles. Managing obsolescence issues has never been more important, given today's budgetary austerity.
