Case Studies

Abaco Systems partners with Italian research institute for astrophysics to design a software/hardware platform for The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER). Challenge? Acquiring signals, converting them into a digital format, and then processing to provide data in a usable format for later studies.

Upgrading the network infrastructure on a warship is a significant task, with many unique challenges. The US Navy was looking to leverage the benefits of fully managed Ethernet switches, using a common, flexible operating environment across the fleet – while retaining its legacy systems.

The requirements imposed on short- and very short-range air defense have become much more complex in recent years, both quantitatively and qualitatively: air threats continue to mutate and multiply. This case study describes how Abaco was called upon by one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of sophisticated air defense systems to equip the control console unit of its latest solution.

The threat from submarines continues to evolve, with non-nuclear-powered submarines becoming increasingly important and the move from deep sea operations to littoral operations. When a major technology company needed a high performance, minimal SWaP computing subsystem for a planned anti-submarine warfare system, it turned to Abaco and the MCS1000 rugged mission and display computer.

The AW139 is said to be the best-selling helicopter in its weight category and the most successful helicopter programme in the last 15 years. It has benefited from numerous technology upgrades – like the Abaco-enabled OPLS.

Leonardo was looking to integrate new, advanced capabilities into its range of rotary wing aircraft to increase their capacity for mission success. Advanced graphics would make a substantial contribution to reducing pilot workload and enhancing situational awareness.

AI and machine learning are enabling new levels of capability in mission critical environments. CMRE took advantage in order to increase the efficiency and safety of unmanned underwater vehicles in detecting naval mines.

When BAE Systems needed to provide a significant performance upgrade to the onboard processing capability of the Eurofighter, the company turned to Abaco for a solution that met its demanding size, weight and power criteria.

Few deployed environments are more demanding than the International Space Station, which will be in service for 20+ years. Find out how Abaco was able to rise to the challenge of delivering the necessary absolute reliability and long term support – with a highly creative solution.
