The shift toward distributed power schemes and advances in power conversion technologies are affecting all types of systems, from VME to PC/104 to non-standard form-factor designs.
Naval shipboard power systems are held to some stringent operating requirements.
A unique circuit scheme delivers the needed harmonic distortion and EMI specs.
The world of safety-critical software and the world of Java are no longer estranged. Efforts are underway to craft specifications and platform solutions for safety-critical Java.
Widely adopted for only about 15 years, the history of standard-bus architectures used in the military remains significant despite dramatic changes in technology. Though new standard architectures are evolving, will history repeat itself and revert to some least-common denominator—backward compatible with other generations?

The continuum of small form-factor boards just got an official new entry: the open-standard, and PC/104 Consortium-sanctioned, EPIC board. It fits nicely between PC/104 and EBX sizes.
The choice between an industry-standard form-factor and a full custom single board computer can be bridged using RISC-based component-level Computer-on-Module products.
