Special Feature: Size, Weight and <strong>Power</strong> Hurdles for Small UAV <strong>Control</strong> The flight control, mission control and<br />
communications gear aboard Small UAVs—like the Raven, Dragon Eye, Shadow and Killer Bee—face some of the most rigorous<br />
size, weight and power restrictions. Selecting the right embedded electronics and embedded computers in those systems<br />
becomes a make or break decision. This section focuses on the electronics aboard UAVs under 1,320 pounds and range from<br />
Line-of-sight control UAVs up to those that fall under the “light sport aircraft” standards.<br />
Tech Recon: I/O Architectures in Rugged Box-Level Systems Stand-alone rugged box-level systems have become a fixture in the military market. These<br />
complete system boxes often support standard form factor boards inside them. The problem is there’s no standard scheme for I/O configurations. New VITA<br />
standards are attempting to rectify this, but there’s a debate on which approach is the best. This section looks at this issue and product class and outlines challenges<br />
they present.<br />
System Development: VPX and VME Tackle Airborne I/O and Data Storage VME and its successor VPX have a strong grip on the military slot-card<br />
embedded computing realm. Whether it’s a system refresh program using backward-compatible VME cards, or a new system requiring VPX performance, there’s<br />
a wide variety of product and technology choices for developers. This section explores the use of these form factors in airborne systems that depend heavily on<br />
I/O and data storage for their functionality.<br />
Tech Focus: XMCs and Processor XMCs XMCs are becoming entrenched as the natural successor to PMC as the leading mezzanine form factor in military applications.<br />
Meanwhile fabric-based Processor XMCs accommodate that trend nicely, enabling military system integrators to swap out just the computing core and leave the<br />
base board unchanged. This Tech Focus section updates readers on these trends and provides a product album of representative XMC and PrXMC products.
