High availability → December 2011 
Angela Sutton (Synopsys, Inc.)
It comes as no surprise that the designers of FPGAs for military and aerospace applications are interested in increasing the reliability and availability of their designs. This is, of course, particularly true in the case of mission-critical and safety-critical electronic systems.
Ruggedization techniques provide protection → Nov/Dec 2011 
Mike Southworth (Parvus Corporation)
This case study reveals how "ruggedizing" a commercial Ethernet switch can provide a cost-effective networking solution for demanding military applications.
Ruggedization techniques provide protection → Nov/Dec 2011 
Kent Walters (Microsemi Corporation)
To meet the latest demanding multiple-burst surge protection standards in avionics systems, the construction of traditional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) devices must be reevaluated to improve on thermal management and other limitations.
Ruggedization techniques provide protection → Nov/Dec 2011 
Dr. Qi Chen (Arbor Technology)
A consistent integrated design methodology, from component testing through verification testing, is crucial for the success of wide temperature range military systems.
GPGPU tackles power → Nov/Dec 2011 
Peter Thompson (GE Intelligent Platforms)
Future generations of General-Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) look to improve performance per watt.
Simplifying wireless system design → Nov/Dec 2011 
Mike Donovan (MathWorks); Dr. Jon Friedman (MathWorks)
A unified technical computing and measurement environment that allows the development of algorithms and processing of real-world data satisfies specifications and requirements while yielding a more robust design.
Laser focus on JTRS → Nov/Dec 2011 
John McHale, Editorial Director (OpenSystems Media)
The evolution of Software Defined Radio (SDR) has segments of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) close to deployment despite cuts that included the Ground Mobile Radio (GMR) system.
Lead-free electronics → Nov/Dec 2011
Steve Edwards (Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing)
Reports, standards, best practices, and solutions are being generated in regard to the reliability concerns of lead-free electronics in A&D applications.
MIL-STD-1553 → Nov/Dec 2011
EBR-1553 enhances the Mbps of MIL-STD-1553 at the subsystem level as new technologies emerge.
John McHale, Editorial Director (OpenSystems Media)
In tough economic times, the DoD expects cost and risk sharing from suppliers in the development of new products and technologies.
Staff (Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing)
FMCs promise to do for FPGA based solutions what PMC and XMC did for embedded CPU based systems. However, FMC is not really competing with PMC or XMC, but actually complements it, particularly for high bandwidth, low latency applications.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) → December 2011 
Rodger H. Hosking Vice-President & Cofounder (Pentek, Inc.)
SDR has revolutionized electronic systems for a variety of applications including communications, data acquisition, and signal processing. This handbook shows how DDCs and DUCs, the fundamental building blocks of SDR, can replace conventional analog receiver designs, offering significant benefits in performance, density and cost and much more...
Peter Thompson (GE Intelligent Platforms, Inc.)
The right choice for a GPGPU platform depends on several factors. Two approaches can be taken when implementing a GPGPU design: chip-down and mezzanine. GE Intelligent Platforms supports both design methods, allowing customers to choose the right approach for their program, including getting started with software design and system validation using early-access GPUs on MXMs, then migrating to chip-down designs later in the cycle when the program g...
