Rugged, reliable COMs add value to military avionics design
Sophisticated avionics systems and platforms are advancing rapidly, particularly as unmanned aircraft handle a greater number of essential security and surveillance missions. In this environment, high-performance, Small Form Factor (SFF) platforms are in demand as enablers of superior intelligence gathering and improved, real-time situational awareness. COM Express-based Computer-on-Modules (COMs) are proving their mettle by answering today’s performance requirements for graphics, low power, and rugged reliability, while providing a cost-effective migration path that is in step with evolving avionics applications.
