MISSION COMPUTERS
Rugged embedded computing
system for developing
avionics mission computers
introduced by Abaco
Abaco Systems in Huntsville,
Ala., is introducing the Lightning
embedded computing system
for developing rugged embedded
mission computers for avionics
and other mission-critical systems. Lightning-based systems are
designed with I/O customization
to help systems integrators reduce
development cost and time. The
first two Lightning-enabled systems — the MCS1000 and GVC2000
— were announced in September.
The rugged, small-form-factor
MCS1000 mission or display computer is for I/O-rich applications
with several target platforms or
interfaces. The system has the
Intel Xeon E3 processor combined
with a CoreAVI (or AMD) E8860
GPU, as much as 16 gigabytes of
DDR4 SDRAM and an XMC site.
This system is for avionics mission
computer and display applications
such as sensor fusion and sensor
processing, or as a data processing
and display computer. The rugged, small-form-factor GVC2000
display computer is for applications
in degraded visual environments,
complex scene rendering, or driving several independent displays
all requiring extensive GPU processing capabilities.

DATA STORAGE
Memory and data exchange
system for military data storage
introduced by Kaman
The Memory Division of Kaman
Precision Products in Middletown,
Conn., is introducing the Advanced
Memory and Data Exchange
Universal System (AMADEUS) for
use in harsh-environment military,
aerospace, and industrial data storage applications. The AMADEUS
includes the model 9740 Multi-Port
data transfer unit which includes
four removable memory cards
(RMC) and a mini-Ground Station
Adapter (GSA). The model 9740 provides simultaneous data interface
over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Mil-Std
1553, and RS-232/422, as well as
options to record multiple SMPTE
292 and NTSC (RS-170) video/audio
channels. Each Kaman RMC has a
capacity of 2 terabytes with AES
256 encrypted data-at-rest. The
pocket-sized GSA facilitates expe-
ditionary operations and enables
the operator to connect with vir-
tually any computer via USB 3.0
exchange pre- and post-mission
data rapidly.

BOARD PRODUCTS
Intel Xeon VME single-board
computer introduced by Mercury
Mercury Systems Inc. in Andover,
Mass., is introducing the Ensemble
4000 series SBC4510 Intel Xeon E3
v6-based VME single-board computer for existing VME-based, sensor-processing embedded computing applications that supply 50
watts or less. The computer board
will enable technology insertion of
modern high-performance and sys-tem-security engineering solutions
with system security engineering
capabilities — a key enabler for
foreign military sales and direct
commercial sales. The single-slot
computer board is compatible with
legacy VME64 systems, and supports Linux and Vx Works operating systems It offers a secure
