Ride-Along Enclosed. Special Feature: Size, Weight and <strong>Power</strong> Hurdles for Small UAV <strong>Control</strong> The flight control, mission control and communications gear aboard Small UAVs—like the Raven, Dragon Eye, Shadow and Killer Bee—face some of the most rigorous size, weight and power restrictions. Selecting the right embedded electronics and embedded computers in those systems becomes a make or break decision. This section focuses on the electronics aboard UAVs under 1,320 pounds and range from Line-of-sight control UAVs up to those that fall under the “light sport aircraft” standards. 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 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 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 they present. 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 embedded computing realm. Whether it’s a system refresh program using backward-compatible VME cards, or a new system requiring VPX performance, there’s 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 I/O and data storage for their functionality. 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. Meanwhile fabric-based Processor XMCs accommodate that trend nicely, enabling military system integrators to swap out just the computing core and leave the base board unchanged. This Tech Focus section updates readers on these trends and provides a product album of representative XMC and PrXMC products.
