Augmented reality and video-management systems - Story
August 09, 2017
Over the last few years, the concept of augmented reality, in which computer-generated imagery is combined with views of the real world, has become mainstream. Formerly found only in very high-end applications, such as helmet-based heads-up displays for fighter-jet pilots, this next-generation graphics capability is poised to revolutionize applications such as search and rescue (SAR) and airborne surveillance.

Establishing a root of trust: Trusted computing and Intel-based systems - Story
August 03, 2017
In the global defense-electronics market there is a growing demand for trusted computing solutions that carry effective protections against cyberattacks. Users want to be confident that when they power up their deployed embedded system, the code that their system is running can be trusted. In this sense,"trusted" means that the system is running only the software code that the system integrator intends it to, and that no other code - malicious or otherwise - has been added to it.

Radiation testing of COTS data-acquisition electronics for space applications - Story
June 21, 2017
Thanks to its proven reliability, cost-effectiveness and size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimization, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment is becoming increasingly attractive to system designers for use in space applications. As COTS equipment extends into mission-critical functions, the risks to the COTS electronics posed by space radiation need to be understood and mitigated.

It's time for VITA 47: Raise the bar on defining ruggedization, reliability - Story
June 09, 2017
How rugged is "rugged"? The answer to that question should have a clear and consistent answer that gives system integrators the confidence and surety that a specific module from a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) supplier will perform and survive in the conditions their application requires. All too often though, claims made by COTS vendors that their module will meet a certain range of durability (temperature, shock, and vibration) are not based on a common, industry standard that enables the customer to make meaningful comparisons between different boards from different vendors.

Multicore for avionics, certifying COTS to DAL-A, commercial UAVs - Story
May 30, 2017
Every month the McHale Report will host an online roundtable with experts from the defense and aerospace electronics industry ? from major prime contractors to defense component suppliers. Each roundtable will explore topics important to the military and avionics embedded electronics market. This month our roundtable of industry experts discuss safety certification of embedded commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software, multicore in avionics, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) safety certification, and the buzz on the floor at the Aviation Electronics Europe show held last month in Munich, Germany.
