White Papers

Manned and unmanned land, air, and sea platform local area network (LAN) security has been overlooked for many years. However, because of increasingly sinister, competent, and faster threats that are harder to detect, the time has come to revisit how we protect these critical platforms. Sensitive satellite and radio communications must be secured, both incoming and outgoing, with readily available, up-to-date, router firewall technology.

There is a deadlock scenario which is inherent to systems containing a PCI/VME interface. The PCI specification allows for and defines devices called bridges. A bridge could be a
host bridge which interfaces a host CPU to the system PCI bus. Another type of bridge is the PCI-to-PCI bridge which bridges two different PCI buses.

This white paper looks at how hypersonic flight will place radical new demands on the embedded computing systems on which they will rely – in terms of not only new levels of performance, but also of new levels of ruggedness.

The pressure to deliver leading edge electronic warfare solutions in the shortest possible time has never been greater. Increasingly, that means COTS solutions – more readily available and at lower cost than in-house development. Here, we look at some options.
