New SVME/DMV-1901 6U VME SBC Delivers Ultra-Low Voltage, High Performance Dual-Core Processing for Power Constrained Benign and Rugged MIL Applications
LEESBURG, VA – October 6, 2006 — Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) VME, VPX and CompactPCI products, has announced the SVME/DMV-1901, its first 6U VME single board computer (SBC) to feature the Intel® Core™ Duo processor running at speeds of 1.67 and 2.0 GHz. The Intel Core Duo processor’s ultra-low voltage operation significantly improves embedded system performance-per-Watt and is ideal for defense and aerospace platforms in which x86 processing and performance per Watt are critical. The SVME/DMV-1901 is available in both air and conduction-cooled ruggedized configurations and can be configured with either a dual-core Intel Core Duo processor or a single-core Intel® Core™ Solo processor.
“Curtiss-Wright is proud to introduce its first Intel Core Duo-based VME SBC designed specifically for military applications and harsh environments,” said Lynn Patterson , vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright’s Modular Solutions group. “Now, VME system integrators seeking the low-power and dual-core performance of Intel’s most advanced x86 processor family have a ruggedized platform for WindowsXPe, Solaris10, Linux, and soon, real-time applications. Even better, Curtiss-Wright backs its Intel Core Duo processor-based SBCs with its Guardian Select suite of services, the industry’s most extensive lifecycle-management program.”
“For military and defense applications, the Intel® Core™ Duo processor is bringing a new level of energy efficient performance to the VME market,” says Rose Schooler, Director of Marketing, Intel Infrastructure Processor Division. “Curtiss Wright, a leader in providing solutions for the COTS defense market, is utilizing the benefits of embedded Intel® architecture to bring innovation, increased performance and long term stability for this widely adopted standards-based form factor.”
The SVME/DMV-1901 is configured with a wide array of I/O in addition to its two PMC/XMC expansion sites. Air-cooled front panel I/O includes onboard video graphics and SCSI interfaces.
