Advances in switching bring rugged 1/10 GbE networking to embedded platforms - Story
September 07, 2018
As advanced network features and increasing speeds are added to next-generation rugged embedded switches, these products become even more useful for military applications by helping to reduce system size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) through a reduction of cabling and the use of Layer 3 switches for basic network routing duties.

Cooling the beast: Heat-dissipation techniques for next-gen processors - Story
August 29, 2018
The good news: Newer-generation processing devices offer hugely boosted capability for military applications such as airborne data processing, shipboard electronics, or ground vehicle systems. The bad news: Newer-generation processing devices offer much more capability. Is this really both good news and bad news? In a word, yes.

Bringing VxWorks support to Intel Xeon D-based EW systems - Story
August 07, 2018
The advantages that the Intel Xeon processor D-1500 product family brings to compute-intensive embedded electronic warfare (EW) system designs is clear. These 8-/12-/16-core devices deliver enhanced performance at low power, making them suitable for use on rugged open-architecture modules designed for deployment in harsh environment applications including electronic warfare (EW) and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR). These system-on-chip (SoC) devices make large numbers of x86 processing cores readily available for embedded defense applications.

The state of cyber resiliency metrics on embedded systems - Story
August 01, 2018
The ability of an embedded system to identify, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks intended to disrupt its operational capabilities is defined by measuring its level of cybersecurity and cyber resiliency. The concept of cyberattacks can refer to either electronic warfare (EW) like signal jamming or to cyberwarfare, for example, such as sending malformed packets to disrupt the system. How do the metrics used to measure a system's cyber resiliency relate specifically to embedded systems, and what are the special considerations that embedded-system designers must undertake when applying cyber resiliency metrics?

A fully integrated COTS approach for PNT to ground vehicles in GPS-denied environments - Story
June 07, 2018
Growing awareness of the potential vulnerabilities introduced by the military's dependence on GPS data has driven demand for new deployed approaches for detecting threats to GPS and providing position, navigation, and timing (PNT) information to the warfighter in GPS-denied environments.

Software drivers developed enables VxWorks users to support Intel Xeon DMA engine, 40Gbe - News
June 04, 2018
ASHBURN, Va. Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions engineers designed a solution for High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) systems that deal with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications based on the Wind River VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS).

Pushing airborne ISR data recorders to new performance heights - Story
April 30, 2018
Capturing wire rate data from today's compute-intensive intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor platforms brings new meaning to the old metaphor "drinking from a fire hose." Airborne ISR systems may have hundreds of cameras and other sensors that generate data that needs to be captured and stored for later analysis. Such sensor systems can't be slowed down to let the recording system to catch up with the flow of data.
