We must also understand how the COTS can be interfaced, ruggedized, packaged, assembled, tested, and logistically supported to meet DoD operational needs. The focus clearly shifts to reuse of existing designs rather than new custom designs. One of the ways that VisiCom Laboratories has tried to meet this challenge is through the use of Reconfigurable Logic Engines and a process called Rapid Retargeting.","PeriodicalId":335827,"journal":{"name":"17th DASC.

Semiconductor content alone is growing at 16%/yr, primarily in embedded microcontrollers, safety and security systems and entertainment systems. As the automobile develops, the demand for installed capacity to support future electronic and anciliary functions is expected to exceed the historical 4%/yr. Today, the automobile electrical system consumes approximately 1.2 kW to support essential loads. With electrical ancillaries, like power assisted steering, the demand will grow to 3 kW and higher in the near term (10 to 15 years). Meeting this predicted demand in a low voltage system is one issue facing automotive electrical system design today. The challenge lies in how to meet such future demand at affordable cost and uncompromised quality. This paper summarizes candidate electrical architectures that are considered viable alternatives to today's system.","PeriodicalId":335827,"journal":{"name":"17th DASC. AIAA/IEEE/SAE.

As the data fusion software developer, ATL created two additional software products in order to effectively design, build, measure, and demonstrate the capabilities of the embeddable information fusion system. A user-friendly, graphical data fusion input simulator (DFIS) was required to facilitate building multi-target, multi-sensor scenarios for fusion stimulation. In addition, since the embedded fusion system has no graphical output, a data fusion workstation (DFWS) was needed to display metrics and output data within each algorithmic step of the fusion process and to provide a fusion demonstration facility. The Data Fusion Input Simulator replicates the performance of 14 onboard and offboard data sources to provide tracks, contact reports, group tracks, and line-of-bearing data.","PeriodicalId":335827,"journal":{"name":"17th DASC.

This consumer electronic equipment is often referred to as \"the leading edge of technology\". Unfortunately, that same equipment that is the \"leading edge\" of consumer electronics, often starts to feel like the \"bleeding edge\" when you try to integrate it into IFE systems for today's modern aircraft. Unlike Avionics systems, the technologies behind IFE equipment are not usually mature before they are integrated into the aircraft. What may work well in a home environment, may not work well at all in the aircraft environment. Often this problem results in last minute redesign in an effort to make the equipment function as intended on the aircraft. Both the FAA and the aircraft manufacturer impose many requirements on the suppliers and products of IFE. Systems need to be designed for the aircraft environment. Many variations on in-flight entertainment systems have forced the creation of new standards for integration into commercial aircraft. Power, cooling, and EMC issues are becoming more of a concern as we move to full aircraft implementations. Beyond the technical evaluations and lab/aircraft testing, one key component is customer satisfaction. This paper will cover some of the methods and tools we use to get IFE from wishlist to reality.","PeriodicalId":335827,"journal":{"name":"17th DASC. AIAA/IEEE/SAE.
