COMING NEXT MONTH Special Feature: Embedded Solutions for Small UAVs
The flight control, mission control and communications gear aboard Small UAVs—like the Shadow, Raven, Puma and Blackjack—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 smaller than Predator-sized unmanned aircraft.
Tech Recon: Update/Review from ARM TechCon 2016
In this era where keeping SWaP (size, weight and power) low is key design requirement for military platforms, ARM-based computing embedded solutions are rapidly gaining mindshare. The annual ARM TechCon show is where all the key chip, board and software vendors delivering those ARM-based building blocks gather to showcase their latest technologies. COTS Journal’s staff was there and this section examines the key technology topics and product exhibits we saw at ARM TechCon 2016.

System Development: Optical Backplanes Open New Capabilities Optical backplane technologies have been discussed in theory in the embedded industry for decades. Today the demand for high-bandwidth interconnects and the likely widespread adoption of optical backplanes in the commercial market, are both factors moving the idea toward reality. This year more products and standards for this technology have emerged driven be demands for even faster interconnect speeds.
Data Sheet: XMC and PrXMC Boards
XMCs are now entrenched as the natural successor to PMC as the leading mezzanine form factor in military applications. Meanwhile fabric-based Processor XMCs (PrXMCs)—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.
