Designers of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics systems take the best of commercial technology such as processors and FPGAs and enable them to work in extreme military environments. This transformation often means ruggedization to protect the state-of-the art integrated circuit and RF compo...

Embedded computing for military applications is vulnerable to cyberthreats like every other system. Threats are prevalent throughout every part of the system from the ICs to the signal-board computer to the software. Trust needs to be assured with each hardware component and software element. This w...

Applying open architecture and open standards to modern avionics systems has been the goal of the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) since its inception. The FACE 3.0 standard enables reuse reuse software elements via common application programming interfaces (API). With 80%-90% percent o...

Power efficiency should be a simple metric to measure. It’s essentially the ratio of output power to input power. However, that’s the only thing that’s simple about. IoT really needs some explanation when you’re designing a product, with caveats for product category, power level, operating environme...

Today's avionics applications face many challenges. From size, weight, and power (SWaP)-constraints, to mixed criticality requirements, low-latency data throughput, and complex certifications, applications must balance an array of factors while keeping efficiency, performance, and safety in check. T...

AI is a technology that requires lots of compute power. For that reason, it had been relegated to the Cloud. But the recent spate of high- performance processors has allowed AI to move to the Edge of the IoT, known as AIoT. It’s this technology that you’ll hear about at AI Day. Powered by Embedded C...

Safety Critical Software has to be written with great care. There must be guidelines, tools and processes in place to ensure that the software is safe to use. But what about any third party libraries such as those that are packaged with the compiler toolchain? There are many good reasons to want to...
