Multi-channel MIL-STD-1553 Mezzanine board hosts Ethernet connectivity for embedded, portable avionics platforms
Alta Data Technologies (Alta) announces the release of a mini embedded mezzanine board for MIL-STD-1553 networks: MEZ-E1553. The MEZ-E1553 product provides 1-2 dual redundant 1553A/B/C channels with an Ethernet backplane interface on a small 3.6×5.6cm PCB. The product is available now for immediate delivery in Dual (BC/BM or mRT/BM) or Full Function (BC/mRT/BM) models.
Free-space optical links, Part 1: Principles
Free-space optical links provide a reliable, cost-effective, and quick way to link two fixed communication nodes located a few kilometers apart. When engineers think of “optical data links” or “optical communications” they almost invariably think of light (visible or not) in an optical fiber carrying data at high rates for tens or even thousands of […]
MIL-grade small form factor computer carries NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier SoM
Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division announces that its Parvus DuraCOR AGX-Xavier rugged modular mission supercomputer will now integrate the newly introduced NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial System on Module (SoM). Use of the new industrial GPU-accelerated module will enable extended temperature operation, enhanced security, long lifecycle support, and up to 30 TOPS (INT8) of performance for artificial intelligence (AI), […]
