| Curtiss-Wright Debuts First 3U OpenVPX™ High-Speed Data Recording Engine – See more at: http://www.curtisswrightds.com/media-center/press-release/vr-1257-3u-openvpx-high-speed-data-recording-engine. |
ASHBURN, VA – September 17, 2013 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions, a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has introduced the VR-1257, the defense and aerospace industry’s first high-speed, rugged 3U OpenVPX™ Data Recorder. The new small-form factor data recording engine captures high-volume, continuously streaming data without interruption, making it ideal for speeding and easing the integration of high-throughput reliable data recording into deployed 3U VPX COTS systems. The VR-1257 enables system integrators to quickly and cost-effectively add the high-performance data recording needed to satisfy the most demanding requirements in today’s data intensive applications. Ideal for use in both lab development and rugged deployed environments, this rugged SWaP-optimized data acquisition solution targets demanding ISR applications, such as radar, sonar, FLIR, and Infrared (IR) sensor data capture in aircraft, ground vehicle and base stations.
“Today’s system integrators are seeking a cost-effective, reliable way to capture the vast amount of data flowing from deployed ISR sensors,” said Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Defense Solutions. “This compact, SWaP-optimized COTS module is the first High Speed Data Recorder to leverage the cost and performance advantages of the OpenVPX open architecture to significantly lower the design risk of data acquisition applications and reduce system development time.”
About the VR-1257 Data Recorder
The VR-1257 is a high performance recording engine designed for use in harsh-environment air- and conduction-cooled applications. The rugged board features an Intel® Core™ i7 processor and supports system expansion via an XMC/PMC mezzanine site. The mezzanine module interface provides eight (8) lanes of Gen2 PCIe to support a wide range of high-speed data fabrics such as sFPDP, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 GbE. For applications with unique I/O requirements, our Customer Programmable Software API is available to ease and speed the development of high speed recording systems.
Complete Data Recorder and Secure Removable Storage Solution
When combined with Curtiss-Wright’s VPX3-FSM 3U VPX Flash Storage Module, the VR-1257 provides a complete secure data recording solution for SWaP-constrained deployed applications. The VPX3-FSM secures critical data stored on its high-performance/high-capacity solid-state SATA drives with FIPS 140-2 validated AES-256 bit encryption. The VPX3-FSM, a 1″ pitch conduction-cooled solid state storage device, utilizes high reliability SLC NAND flash designed for the most demanding applications. The FSM can be configured as either four (4) separate SATA drives (4 x 256GB) or as a single SATA drive
(1x 1TB). Industry standard wear-leveling, error correction, and bad block management are built-in. Click here for more information on VPX3-FSM removable storage solutions.
