GE Intelligent Platforms’ CRS-D8I-3VF1
COTS Rugged System is a 1/2 ATR packaged
prevalidated VPX computer system
with an Intel-based processor single
board computer. This data processing
system provides a rugged and highly
flexible computing platform suited for
applications requiring rock-solid reliability
such as civilian and military UAVs,
manned commercial and military aircraft,
helicopters, over and underwater research
vessels, and ground vehicles.
The CRS-D8I-3VF1 VPX system’s I/O
flexibility is capable of meeting any number
of configurations. It is designed to support
GEIP’s Intel Sandy & Ivy Bridge Core i7
3U SBCs, Gigabit Ethernet switch, video
compression card, CUDA-based graphics
cards, and a MIL-STD-1553/ARINC429
multi-protocol card.
GE’s COTS-based Application Ready
computer system can be deployed in the
field as soon as your application is ready,
or use our COTS Rugged Systems as a
starting point for multiple application
specific configurations.
The arduous task of integrating off the shelf
boards has already been done for you—
shortening your time to project completion.
You have one point of contact for all issues
and a single part number—not a collection
of parts.
GE has integrated and tested the CRS-D8I3VF1 and provides Board Support Packages
(BSP’s) and drivers that you can easily use
to integrate your application and reduce
your software development cycle time.
To help jump start your project, GE offers
Laboratory Development Units, or starter
kits, pre-configured for development
purposes. Based on the required system
controller architecture and bus system, GE
can provide the appropriate development
system for your specific needs.
Product Lifecycle Management
GE offers a Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM) program of innovative Long-Term
Support services to reduce the overall
cost of ownership and provide industryleading safeguards against component
obsolescence. GE Intelligent Platforms
is committed to supporting customer
programs throughout their lifecycle.
