VMETRO wins Northrop Grumman contract
-- Test & Measurement World, 3/7/2006 11:09:00 AM
Seeking to capitalize on the computing power of VMETRO’s Phoenix family of VXS (VITA-41) systems, Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Systems Division has issued a contract to VMETRO for the Central Electronics Chassis (CEC) system of the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) program. The CEC system processes image sensor data in a liquid-cooled chassis incorporating several Phoenix VPF1 quad-processor payload cards and VMETRO’s CSW1 zero-latency switch card.
The ALMDS is deployed on helicopters to allow the US Navy to detect sea mines at or near the water’s surface. “VMETRO’s design incorporates a unique and innovative approach to processing data using FPGAs, Serial FPDP, and VXS technologies delivering a combination of high performance, rugged packaging, as well as a roadmap for expanding system capabilities over the life of the program,” said Deon Harkey, ALMDS program manager of Northrop Grumman. He added, “The computing power delivered by VMETRO’s design is absolutely key in gaining the required depth of the sensor system and enabling the synchronization and manipulation of data for rapid decision making under hostile conditions.”
Delivery of systems will begin during the first half of 2006. www.vmetro.com.
