For custom military power supplies, a component power solution often can be superior to a discrete power solution—and can be completed faster and with less risk.
As compute density increases, military technology gets more complex and primes adopt open standards, they are asking subcontractors more often for box-level COTS solutions.
A scaled-down need for ruggedization combined with open architectures is enabling fully integrated, box-level systems to be provided from a single vendor.
Offering better weight, safety and energy density characteristics than traditional military batteries, fuel systems are staking a claim on next-generation portable military designs.
A mix of daunting electronic integration issues and complex software porting challenges makes the HMS class of JTRS radios a tough nut to crack. New development platforms of cryptographic solutions are helping to ease the way.
Developers designing for the handheld, manpack and small form-fit (HMS) JTRS domain face porting challenges. The right tools and techniques help smooth the way.
Applications that currently use Fibre Channel will probably continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some new applications might also opt for Fibre Channel, but others may choose to use either Ethernet or SAS.
