EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
Curtiss-Wright to participate in USAF Next Generation Radar evaluation
Curtiss-Wright received a contract to participate in the US Air Force (USAF) led Next Generation Radar evaluation programme, as announced by the company on 25 March.
The programme aims at assessing the capability of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software for performing airborne radar signal processing. Curtiss-Wright will run and optimise synthetic aperture radar and ground moving target indicator radar benchmarks on its COTS hardware solutions.
The benchmarks are provided by the USAF and leverage advancements in commercial high performance computing software such as MPI, FFTW, VSIPL and OpenCL.
Under the programme, Curtiss-Wright and select COTS vendors will benchmark their proposed multiprocessor High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) radar processing architecture based on USAF-provided specifications and requirements.
Curtiss-Wright will benchmark its own HPEC radar processing system based on its Fabric40 OpenVPX board and chassis products. The Curtiss-Wright Fabric40 system includes single board computers, DSP and FPGA engines, GPU processors, network switches and backplanes.
Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager, defense solutions, Curtiss-Wright, said: 'We are proud to have been selected to participate in this exciting Next Generation Radar evaluation programme.
'Using today's high performance open architecture hardware, it’s now possible to design whole new classes of rugged deployed HPEC solutions that deliver all of the proven cost savings and long lifecycle benefits of COTS technology while elevating radar processing performance to levels never before achievable.'
