Getting the Heat Out of Ever Smaller Systems
RTC Magazine - Aug 2013
As systems shrink in size and gain in computing power, all the techniques in the book are needed to handle the heat. Interestingly, there are design techniques that can increase efficiency and reliability, while reducing system size and increasing performance.
VITA 75 vs. VPX: Optimizing unmanned vehicle thermal and payload efficiencies
Military Embedded Systems - Jul 2013
The fast pace of UAV/UGV/UUV evolution places an ever-increasing demand on size, weight, and power, while the range of use applications – from surveillance to air defense to communications relays – and interest from national security organizations beyond military continue to grow. To accommodate increasing requirements and diminishing budgets, public contractors and private vendors are moving to Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C)-savvy standards-based systems design, such as by utilizing the smaller envelopes of VITA 75 small form factors to replace existing 3U and 6U VPX technologies. This allows the integration of future payload capabilities into the space available in existing mobile platforms.
UGV Requirements Push Evolution in HPEC Performance
COTS Journal - April 2013
As unmanned ground vehicles integrate more complex functions such as vision, communications, autonomous navigation and weapons management, new innovations are needed in High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC).
