Design must-haves for your mission-critical system
Service availability, or uninterrupted service to the end user in the presence of failures, cannot be effectively bolted on to an already-developed system if little or no consideration has been given to High Availability (HA) during the design phases. In this article, Dr. Naseem outlines the key considerations a designer of a highly available system must keep in mind.

White Paper: DO-254 Compliance: Reducing Project Cost by Avoiding Common Pitfalls
DO-254 is a new hardware design standard for airborne electronics. While this standard can increase costs due to the added design assurance it requires, this cost can be minimized by understanding DO-254, gaining experience using it, and working with experts who are knowledgeable and who care about the needs of this market. This paper provided an overview of the standard, talked about some of the common challenges and pitfalls, and provided ad...

10 GbE in net-centric warfare: Why commercial network cards can't drive the application
10 GbE provides a standards-based “fat pipe” to move data. However, real-time applications present unique challenges that must be addressed at the outset. The world of technology has flipped 180 degrees: No longer is the best technology developed for the military and then later commercialized. Now, the defense department is playing catch-up to off-the-shelf technology. These days, civilians are accustomed to a profoundly high level of...

3U VPX tackles needs of today's net-centric battlefield
The U.S. DoD's vision for the net-centric battlefield – to bring rich instant data to the war fighter at the edge of the battlefield – has been limited by several factors. However, a new breed of rugged COTS 3U VPX SBCs is helping to address many of the requirements of a networked battlefield. With its performance vs. power benefits, superior backplane and serial fabric support, GbE network connectivity, and advanced security featu...

Advanced cooling techniques beat the heat for rugged embedded COTS systems
Considering the environmentally intense environments faced by modern military electronics, the ability to meet the widest range of ruggedization and operating temperature requirements is an absolute must. And, when traditional Direct Forced Air (DFA) and conduction-cooling techniques are insufficient, designers are turning to more advanced approaches to save the day: Airflow Through (AFT) cooling, spray cooling, and Liquid Flow Through (LFT)...

Application modernization provides link between historical systems and contemporary technology
In an era when battlefield technology is evolving, warfighters must be equipped with best-of-class, mission-critical technology. But in spite of this need to stay ahead of the technology curve, the DoD's budget cycle can sometimes be out of sync with these objectives. However, there is an answer: application modernization. Despite the recent push toward modern programming languages like Java and C++, the majority of government agencies...
