PHOENIX, 20 Jan. 2015. “Modular hardware and software subsystems enable timely integration of emerging capabilities while minimizing platform integration issues,” says Benjamin Peddicord, chief, Intel Techology and Architecture Branch, U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., with activities at Fort Belvoir, Va., and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.
CERDEC officials, including Peddicord, are working with standards organizations, including VITA, to further the advancement, availability, and adoption of open standards and open standards-based electronics systems, solutions, and components.
“Common hardware and software subsystems enable enhanced command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR)/electronic warfare (EW) capabilities to exist within the size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints of platforms,” Peddicord stresses.
