VPX, VXS and VITA 31.1 as well as PICMG ATCA and MicroTCA architectures together form a rich set of choices for system designers. All are worth a look for meeting the net-centric needs of next-gen military systems.
Electronic Intelligence poses a formidable challenge in processing and bandwidth demands. VME and its successors VXS and VPX offer options to tame those challenges.
VME’s legacy remains strong. However, demanding military platforms like advanced radar processing have shined a light toward VXS and VPX.
Tech Recon Advances in Simulation
Military Simulations Get Real Vik Sohal, Chief Operations Officer, Pixelux Entertainment, a division of Objective Interface Systems
Using Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) simulation, wood breaks like wood, metal bends and tears like metal, and glass shatters like glass. The result is more realistic military simulation and training programs.
Component obsolescence continues to plague the military market. An infrastructure of government groups and specialty commercial firms are helping ease those challenges.
