Abstract

A cooperative program has been undertaken since 1989 between Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Dassault Electronique, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreed upon by USAF and DGA (French DoD). This joint effort has been carried out under the VHSIC Avionics Modular Processor (VAMP) program. The goal was the development of three advanced avionic modules for the French DoD's and USAF's programs: PMF, a 32-bit military processor originally developed for different uses (Avionics, Navy, Army); NVM module, non-volatile memory (8 mbytes EEPROM); HSDB module, bus interface unit for the High Speed Data Bus (Referring to the AS 4074 Linear Token Passing Bus (LTPB) standard). This effort aims at establishing a high degree of interoperability for future NATO systems. These modules were designed under an equally balanced program in which studies and development were to be shared. The paper outlines the key technical issues in the development of each of these modules. It shows also how these modules are integrated and used in the Wright Laboratory Integrated Test Bed and what could be an associated future development.<>

法美合作设计VAMP航电模块

自1989年以来，西屋电气公司和达索电子公司通过美国空军和DGA(法国国防部)达成的谅解备忘录(MOU)开展了合作项目。这项联合工作在VHSIC航空电子模块化处理器(VAMP)计划下进行。目标是为法国国防部和美国空军的项目开发三种先进的航空电子模块:PMF，一种32位军用处理器，最初用于不同用途(航空电子、海军、陆军);NVM模块，非易失性存储器(8mb EEPROM);HSDB模块，高速数据总线的总线接口单元(参考AS 4074线性令牌传递总线(LTPB)标准)。这项工作旨在为未来的北约系统建立高度的互操作性。这些模块是在一个平等平衡的方案下设计的，在这个方案中，研究和发展是共享的。本文概述了每个模块开发中的关键技术问题。它还展示了这些模块如何集成并在赖特实验室集成测试平台中使用，以及可能是相关的未来发展。
