Driven by the unprecedented revolution in sensor technology, our warfighters are seeking increased situational awareness - which means they're demanding more high-fidelity information than ever. From full motion video to multi-INT systems and persistent ISR, the onslaught of data can be overwhelming. Additionally, continual advances require flexible, open system designs so new technologies can be integrated over time.
How do we meet this challenge? With high-performance, commercially developed embedded subsystems.
Next Generation Building Blocks for Multi-function, Multi-mode Radar Applications
Radar is one of the defense industry’s most challenging applications - and it’s easy to understand why. Targets are smaller and faster and growing in number, yet they must be tracked over wider areas of surveillance. As a result, digital signal processing for radar is a highly complex and compute-intensive task.
Given today’s do-more-with-less environment, there exists an elevated demand for high-performance processing - with both specialized and general purpose processors - and low-latency, high-bandwidth data movement. Adding to the challenge are ever-tightening SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) constraints, which are ratcheted up every time a radar program adds multi-mission or multi-mode requirements.
So as budgets shrink and the list of new requirements lengthen, defense primes must find new ways to solve these difficult problems.
In just 60 minutes, you will learn more about:
- Current trends in DSP subsystems for radar
- The application of the latest technologies in processors – CPU and GPGPU – and sensor I/O
- Case studies of successful programs based on shipboard and ground-based radar platforms
Advantages of the 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processor for the Latest Aerospace and Defense Digital Signal Processing Applications
With the advent of the AVX instruction set extensions, second generation PCI Express, and embedded graphics capabilities, the Second Generation Core Intel i7 Processor brings new processing capabilities to signal and image processing applications. Yet most embedded processing systems require sophisticated SWaP optimization and ruggedization in order to successfully integrate this open and commercially developed microprocessor. This webcast will discuss the considerations in SWaP, ruggedization and I/O to be mindful of when developing an integrated subsystem. The discussion will also describe the advantages Mercury offers today to make the Intel i7 work for your defense application.
Defense Acquisition Reform: Finding the Hidden Opportunities
It’s undeniable. Defense acquisition reform has ushered in a new reality for prime contractors. Firm-fixed price contract awards, shorter timelines, more open system architectures — these are just a few of the game-changing challenges now facing primes.
However, these challenges can also create unique opportunities for the well-positioned defense contractor. To gain that competitive advantage, primes need to rethink their business models and partnering strategies. And this seminar discusses both.
Building Next Generation Intel-Based ISR Subsystems for Defense
Today’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) subsystems are required to do more, faster. More mission performance is demanded from systems that are already highly constrained by stringent size, weight, and power requirements. Mercury’s new product line of Intel-based products can help.
During this free webcast, we will discuss:
- The technical challenges in the current defense climate
- The performance advantages Intel-based products can bring to this table
- The subsystem benefits that Mercury products and services can offer
