SRC Computers (booth 1533) has taken the wraps off its latest in reconfigurable airborne computing technology - the SRC-7 Atlas processing system, and the Mid-Sized Signal Data Processor (SDP)
SRC's airborne systems are used for computer-intensive unmanned aerial vehicle applications such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and image processing as well as commercial airborne mapping applications.
The Atlas system is designed to provide airborne processing in a compact form (1.7 cubic feet) with low power consumption (around 500 watts), and weighing less than 70 pounds with typical 10-module complement and thermal system, says Colorado Springs-headquartered SRC. It is sealed to work above 25,000 feet and in a -55°C to +50°C (-67°F to + 122°F) temperature range. In addition, the SRC-7 can also be used as a general-purpose computing system for ground station environments.
The Mid-Sized SDP, meanwhile, is a slightly smaller airborne system (756 cubic inches and 25 pounds).
