MIL TECH TRENDS
DAVID VOS, LOCKHEED MARTIN & IVAN STRAZNICKY, CURTISS-WRIGHT DEFENSE SOLUTIONS
 
The ongoing challenge for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system developers is to balance the competing approaches to reduce the system's size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) while trying to deploy the most modern technologies.

SPECIAL REPORT
SALLY COLE, SENIOR EDITOR & JOHN MCHALE, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
 
Modern maritime radar systems for missile defense and navigation have become more precise by leveraging commercial signal processing and radio frequency (RF) components in modular designs that enable commonality with clear technology refresh paths.

SPECIAL REPORT
BEAU PAISLEY, ARM & TAMMY CARTER, CURTISS-WRIGHT DEFENSE SOLUTIONS
 
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.

SISTER PUBLICATION - PICMG SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGY
DOUG SANDY, PICMG
 
More than a decade has passed since the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was introduced, but the vision has yet to fully materialize. While some important progress has been made with small wearable devices, thermostats, and smart phones, the average consumer hasn't yet experienced significant advantage from interconnected devices working together for their benefit.

WHITE PAPER
ABACO SYSTEMS 
 
Video processing is ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and dates back nearly a century (electronic image transmission was first demonstrated 90 years ago). Transmission of images by digital means is 48 years old and commercial digital video 30 years old. As we have seen management of latency in systems reliant on video sensors is a critical design driver. It is only through the use of the right tools and techniques that latency challenges can be overcome.
