In the ever-evolving landscape of networking, the need for efficient and intelligent data transmission is paramount. This is where Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switches come into play and form the backbone of modern network infrastructures.... read more

Managed ethernet switches are the solution for scenarios that involve multiple devices, or require redundancy, monitoring, and control over the application network. Managed switches are remotely programmable via Web or programmatic interfaces to allow pre- and dynamic configuration. These switches provide key features to support today’s UAV applications. primary among these are quality of service, VLANs, spanning tree, and redundancy.... read more

MIL-STD-704 is an Aircraft Electrical Power Military Standard that defines a standardized power interface between a military aircraft and its equipment. The purpose of this standard is to ensure compatibility between the aircraft power system (including external power) and the utilization equipment (with connected power supplies). A power supply running directly from a generator, or its AC/DC rectifier must be able to handle the various transients from these “dirty” power sources.... read more

Airborne pods are compact external electro-mechanical platforms that are attached to nearly any aircraft type yet operate independently. They hold intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) systems that collect sensor data across long-range airborne missions, turning normal aircraft into warfighters. To overcome the harsh conditions in which they operate while still being highly effective and secure, pods require rugged networking and power solutions that overcome myriad related challenges.

In modern military operations, sensor systems are crucial for providing real-time intelligence across air, land, sea, and space domains. These sensors, including radar, infrared, acoustic, and electronic warfare (EW) platforms, must work together seamlessly to offer a comprehensive picture of the battlefield. This is where sensor fusion comes into play, enabling the aggregation and integration of data from multiple sensors to enhance situational awareness. However, sensor fusion requires highly reliable power conversion and networking solutions to handle the massive volume of data generated by modern sensors, as well as to ensure smooth integration into military systems.... read more
