Will your technology choices
still be seaworthy in 20 years?
It takes careful planning to deploy a system that
can deliver high performance throughout its lifetime.
Choosing technology is never easy, but it’s
particularly difficult for naval applications
because many navy systems remain in
service for decades. How can you deliver
high performance today, while still protecting your investments against the effects of
obsolescence? Is there a way to preserve
your certifications, even through multiple
technology refreshes?
Fortunately, the answer is a resounding
“Yes.” Our careful design process often
allows us to change processor and memory
types without changing a board’s physical
or electrical characteristics. By maintaining
form, fit and function for multiple generations, you can minimize re-qualification
following an upgrade. Our Board Support
Packages provide a stable software interface between the application and the
underlying hardware, also minimizing revisions to application software.
Some naval applications require rugged
hardware, and our products are designed
to be rugged right from the start. We have
perfected the development of thermal and
mechanical technology coupled with test
and qualification techniques to bring the
best available COTS technology to the
rugged market.
NAVAL APPLICATIONS
As part of GE, we offer you direct access
to invaluable resources at sister divisions
such as world-renown GE Research.
We’ve proven ourselves on the
high seas. And beneath them.
Our hardware has been deployed for decades by
leading prime contractors in some of their most
high-profile programs.
You can turn to us knowing we have the
experience to immediately support the
development of your latest application,
because that’s exactly what we’ve been
doing for so many years.
Our expertise reaches from individual boards
through fully integrated systems. It includes
decades of design, testing and validation
of rugged naval electronics. Our real-world
learning from deployed systems gives us
insights that simply cannot be gleaned from
laboratory testing.
Our proven Program Management process
is designed to execute on our core competencies: Contract Management, Application
Domain Knowledge, System Architecture,
Thermal Management, Integration, Validation and Verification, Configuration
Management, Engineering Process and
Procedures, Program Lifecycle Management
(PLM), Logistics and Reliability.
