Provide a laboratory systemthat employs the same set ofShop Replaceable Units (SRUs)that will be used in a deployedsystem
Conceptual Approach (Top Down)
21/01/167 CES-SWaP.com
Cover most common avionics requirements.
Base the design on an open architecture via VITA standards.
Address consideration for Safety and Design Assurance Level (DO-254, DO-178C)
Recipe and Key Elements

CPU A
IO rich 3U VPX board modules
Upgradable SBC mezzanine
Recipe and Key Elements
21/01/169 CES-SWaP.com
Full mesh interconnect for multi processor applications
Recipe and Key Elements
21/01/1610 CES-SWaP.com
Commercial connectors allowing the use of standard cables
Recipe and Key Elements
21/01/1611 CES-SWaP.com
Open to customizationand adaptation
Recipe and Key Elements
21/01/1612 CES-SWaP.com
Early Profiling and Concept Validation
21/01/1613 CES-SWaP.com
Benchmark application performance in near-realistic environment
Platform architecture validation
Integrate SW application and API drivers
Validate BIT coverage
“”
Allow equipment manufacturer to accurately specify application requirements
Works Right Out of the Box
21/01/1614 CES-SWaP.com
Ready to use. Is supported by pre integrated SW modules BSP Drivers Middleware Tools
Support for ecosystem/partner SW and middleware
Address Ground Based Installation
21/01/1615 CES-SWaP.com
Rackable solution
Future Needs & Trends
21/01/1616 CES-SWaP.com
Growth provision (slots, interfaces, HW performance)
Address open architecture and interoperability
Address new coming technology , processors and interfaces
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Testability (RAMT) and in particular Built in test
SWaP optimization
Conclusion
21/01/1617 CES-SWaP.com
Typically saves 6 to 12 month of program schedule
Early platform architecture validation
Reduces program risks and cost
Deployable as a ground based fixed installation
“”
A new type of laboratory platformsbecomes a key element for the successof C4ISR avionic programs !
