New Products
Avionics Data Recorder Systems
Mercury Systems, Inc. (Andover, MA) has
launched new avionics data recorder, storage, and
transfer systems purpose-built to provide air and operations
crews with intuitive high-speed secure and reliable
data exchange. The High Definition Video Recorder
(HDVR) family are highly scalable convection-cooled
recorders designed for platforms needing high-fidelity data capacity, video
and audio compression, and faster read/write speeds. The Advanced Data
Transfer Systems (ADTS) feature fast data transfer with 1000 MB/s data
transfer speeds, 100 MB/s+ SATA read/write speeds, crash survivable memory
options, and encryption to speed information exchange and protect
data during mission critical operations. The Data Storage Systems are network
attached storage (NAS) units engineered to deliver high-performance
multi-level security in remote, inhospitable environments.

Conduction Cooled Chassis
LCR Embedded Systems (Norristown, PA)
released two new conduction cooled chassis
for high speed VPX systems. The AoC3U-400
Series is designed to maintain safe operating
temperatures for high-power 3U VPX and
SOSA aligned module-based systems. Each
chassis combines forced air with conduction cooling to dramatically increase
aggregate heat dissipation capacity by up to 100% versus straight
passive conduction solutions while leveraging readily available VITA 48.2
plug-in modules. The 410 model features 4 payload slots, plus one VITA
62 PSU slot, while the 412 model adds dual removable SSD bays. Each
unit includes custom backplane, front I/O board and applicable connector
sets. Backplane data flow profiles provide for VPX and SOSA aligned
module usage, while I/O board designs support high speed copper, optical
or RF signals with a range of MIL-STD connector options as needed.

Robot Chargers and Transmitters
WiBotic (Seattle, WA) has introduced
several new chargers and transmitters for
drones and autonomous mobile robots.
The OC-262 is a passively cooled onboard
charger that was developed as a ruggedized
system for the Department of Defense. Providing
up to 300W of power, the OC-262 has no moving parts, supports
all common robot battery chemistries, and pairs with a weatherproof receiver
antenna. Designed for UAVs and smaller robots, the OC-150 is a
compact, lightweight onboard charger that delivers up to 150W of total
power and up to 10A of current depending upon battery voltage. As
with other OCs, it supports multiple battery chemistries and has an output
voltage range of 9V to 58.5V. The TR-150 compact transmitter delivers
up to 150W of power with end-to-end wireless power system efficiencies
of 85% or more, while the the TR-300 offers the same core
benefits as the TR-150 but delivers up to 300W of power.

GNSS Simulator
Orolia Defense & Security (Rochester, NY) released
the latest addition to its GNSS simulator family, BroadSim
Solo. The Solo joins the BroadSim line of Skydelpowered
GNSS simulators, which includes models
suited for Hardware-In-The-Loop and Multi-Element
Antenna/CRPA testing. BroadSim Solo shares the same
Skydel Simulation Engine that runs on a standard
BroadSim, BroadSim Anechoic and BroadSim Wavefront.
It supports advanced scenario creation features
and the benefits provided by a software-defined architecture such as
high-dynamics, 1000 Hz iteration update rate and ultra-low latency of
5 ms. Nearly all civilian GNSS signals can be generated through its single
RF output (one frequency band at a time), along with GPS AES MCode,
jamming or spoofing signals.

Intro
Cov
Damped Piezoresistive Accelerometer
Endevco (Depew, NY) announced the release
of Model 2262B, a rugged, gas damped piezoresistive
accelerometer for shock environments. This
new transducer uses a unique and advanced
multi-mode damped silicon piezoresistive MEMS
sensing element for exceptional bandwidth with
no significant resonance response up to 40 kHz.
Model 2262B is available in 1000, 2000 and 6000 g full-scale ranges.
The hermetically sealed stainless steel package includes an integral 4pin
connector that mates with Endevco's Model 3915 detachable low
noise, shielded cable assembly, sold separately. Model 2262B replaces
the now obsolete Model 2262A fluid damped accelerometer.

Valve in Tank Assembly
Eaton (Cleveland, OH) announced that it successfully
completed qualification testing for the aerospace
industry's first Valve in Tank Assembly (VITA) propulsion
feed system. As the first satellite electric propulsion
solution that integrates valves inside the propellant
tank, the VITA eliminates the need for a traditional feed
system envelope, creating room for more payload. The
design of Eaton's VITA eliminates the feed system envelope
by integrating proportional flow valve technology
into a housing that is then integrated into the neck of a
lightweight composite propellant tank. The initial configuration of
the VITA solution has two redundant shut-off valves to support one
thruster for increased reliability. The drop-in VITA design approach
supports modular satellite configurations, making architectural
changes easier. Qualified in testing with xenon, this system has
demonstrated to be fully compatible with krypton as well.

Satellite Antennas
ThinKom Solutions (Hawthorne, CA)
announced the development of a new
family of phased-array antennas for deployment
on satellites and other space
vehicles. The antennas are based on
ThinKom's VICTS (Variable Inclination
Continuous Transverse Stub) technology. The multi-frequency full-duplex
antennas are designed for operation on geostationary and nongeostationary
satellites using C-, X-, Ku-, Ka-, Q-, V-, E- and W-band
frequencies. They can provide steerable high-capacity inter-satellite
links as well as space-to-earth and earth-to-space feeder and user links.
Other key features include 80-degree scan angle coverage, wide instantaneous
channel bandwidth up to 2 GHz, polarization diversity, low
sidelobe emissions and continuous jitterless high-agility scanning.

Multi-Channel, Mixed-Signal
RF Converters
Richardson RFPD, Inc. (Geneva, IL), an
Arrow Electronics company, announced
availability and full design support capabilities
for two highly integrated highspeed
converters from Analog Devices, Inc. The AD9081 and AD9082
mixed-signal front-ends combine high-performance analog and digital
signal processing, allowing designers to install multiband radios in
the same footprint as single-band radios. By shifting more of the frequency
translation and filtering from the analog to the digital domain,
the AD9081/2 provides designers with the software configurability
to customize radios. The AD9081 MxFE® includes four 16-bit,
12 gigasample-per-second RF digital-to-analog converter cores and
four 12-bit, 4 GSPS RF analog-to-digital converter cores. The AD9082
MxFE® includes four 16-bit, 12 GSPS RF DAC cores and two 12-bit, 6
GSPS RF ADC cores.
