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.

Introducing Gen 5 VPX - Story
March 21, 2018
A new, higher-performance era of VPX (VITA 46) computing was launched in January - at the Embedded Tech Trends (ETT) 2018 Conference in Austin, Texas - with the announcement that Gen 5 VPX data rates will run on today's standard VPX connector. The initial Gen 5 VPX protocols are expected to be 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G-KR4) and Infiniband EDR [enhanced data rate]. In addition, a next-generation VPX connector, the MULTIGIG RT3, which is able to support data rates of 25.8 Gbaud, also made its debut.

Modernizing a serial processing code to obtain optimal performance on an OpenVPX digital signal processing module - Story
March 12, 2018
Serial algorithms can be evolved to a scalable, multithreaded, multiprocess implementation using ubiquitous and well-established high-performance computing (HPC) programming frameworks such as OpenMP and MPI. Such techniques are used in compute-intensive defense, aerospace, and industrial applications.
