ARINC 818 tackles tough sensor fusion issues
Sensor fusion systems continue to proliferate in military applications like surveillance, target tracking, and missile defense, but they bring their share of system-level challenges such as sensor synchronization, cabling weight, distance restrictions, and EMI. The authors discuss how ARINC 818 (Avionics Digital Video Bus) can be used as a flexible sensor interface to solve these system-level issues. Additionally, a bidirectional ARINC 818 sys...

C4ISR and the big picture
On a per-line-item basis year after year, the majority of the DoD’s technology budget has gone into digitizing the battlefield. As soon as a weapon or a platform became “smart,” planners wanted it interconnected to everything else. To this day, programs that add COTS technology to help digitize the battlefield get preferential funding treatment – especially if they show immediate value to either save warfighters’ lives or radically improve...

Case study: Direct spray maximizes environmental isolation and flexibility on airborne platforms
Military embedded systems experience harsh and rugged environments. In recent years, the power levels of the electronics deployed in these systems have been rising rapidly. The combination of the harsh environments with the rising heat loads of the electronics has forced vendors to develop more effective packaging technology. Meanwhile, direct spray cooling is proving itself an acceptable alternative to air and conduction cooling, providing ex...

Creating a simulated environment for UAS operator training
The military’s increased worldwide use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) is driving the demand for highly realistic training environments. Using a mix of integrated 2D and 3D COTS graphics tools can greatly accelerate the development and realism of simulators to fulfill this growing need. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) are increasingly being used by military forces around the world. Whether for reconnaissance work or tactical engagements,...

Data-centric architecture for military embedded systems
Publish-subscribe middleware is the key technology that enables data-centric architecture. The DDS standard precisely defines how the middleware controls and transmits information. Successful applications include many shipboard and UAV systems. Modern networked applications must connect and coordinate many resources. A typical distributed application integrates CPU-intensive servers, data stores, user interfaces, and real-time sensors and...

DO-178B and DO-254: A unified aerospace-field theory?
Though some progress has been made toward a unified field theory, relating the physics of heavenly bodies to subatomic particles, another type of unification is having more measurable success: the unification of military and commercial avionics through increasing utilization of the DO-178B and DO-254 safety standards.
