Weight Reduction and Space Savings in Wire and Cable Design and Their Contribution to Aerospace Design and Operational Efficiency

Like every other military and aerospace component, wire and cable is under increased scrutiny as engineers look for weight and space savings in their designs.

Cooling Solutions for Mission-Critical Electronics

Discussion of four options for cooling electronic/electrical equipment housed in enclosures and transit cases. These options include thermoelectric air conditioners, compressor-based AC, vortex coolers and air-to-air heat exchangers.

It is becoming evident that embedded computing solutions used in mil/aero applications will need to provide high assurance computing in order to ensure overall mission safety and high availability systems, and specifically safeguard the integrity, confidentiality and security of the data within and between systems.

Interoperability Considerations Between Different Host FMC and FMC Mezzanine Vendors

In the same way as one might strip out unnecessary weight in a car aimed for racing, the FMC is a performance solution that strips away unnecessary generic interfaces for direct FPGA driven I/O. But that requires knowledge to achieve the desired performance and to ensure the host and FMC module will work well together.
