November 01, 2024

MANASSAS, Va. BAE Systems announced that its RAD510 software development unit (SDU) is now available to the space community: the company says that the SDU enables initial software implementation and testing as customers prepare to convert from the RAD750 single-board computer (SBC) to the next-generation RAD510 SBC.
