In harsh battlefield environments, reliable computing and communication systems are critical for mission success. To meet the needs of the modern soldier, standards-based rugged computing – including SOSA, VITA, VME, VPX, and PICMG – has evolved to provide system integrators with a roadmap for seamless design. But what do these standards mean for product capabilities, and how can embedded modules and boards enhance defense applications?
This 60-minute Webinar highlights key features of leading-edge computing modules and how they can aid the development of next-generation combat systems, tactical radar, and battlefield sensor systems.
An audience Q&A follows the technical presentation.
