Targeting

Targeting pods require increasing processing power to keep up with

increased sensor resolution and added sensors. Typically the system size

is restricted by the existing pod profile and power.

GE’s range of OpenVPX products, spread across 3U and 6U form factors

allow for highly scalable solutions from the smallest to the largest pods.

The AXIS software tools allow seamless scalability of the application

to match the hardware. Gigabit and 10Gigabit Ethernet offer standard

connections between subsystems and to sensor suites.

ISR Visualization

Increasing focal plane array size, faster frame rates and more sensors

being fused mean that more capability is being demanded in the same

or lower size, weight, and power.

GPUs are particularly well suited to processing the large volumes of pixel

data present on today’s ISR platforms. Given the shock and vibration

levels that many ISR platforms are subjected to, GE’s policy of using chip-

down designs fits well. The use of high speed fabrics with RDMA allows

the sensor data to be efficiently spread to the processing nodes.

360 Degree Situational Awareness

To acquire, convert, stitch and display video streams from multiple HD

cameras requires considerable compute power. Typically these systems

must be capable of being retrofitted into spaces on vehicles that offer severe

restrictions on size and cooling paths.

By offering a complete range of SBCs, GPUs, Manycore processors

and network interfaces, GE can supply the building blocks for the most

demanding of SA systems. The availability of middleware and application

frameworks speeds the development of the solution.
