DDC introduces Rugged Avionics Interface Computer
Data Device Corporation (DDC) introduced its new Rugged Avionics Interface Computer suitable for new systems and upgrades on 5 May.
The Rugged Avionics Interface Computer is a flexible, scalable platform that supports a wide range of Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 717, CANbus 2.0/ARINC 825, RS-232/422/485 and Avionics/Digital Discrete I/O data network communications.
The system combines Intel's embedded computing architecture and DDC's High Density Multi-Protocol XMC module for avionics connectivity in a small form factor, deployable, rugged enclosure. It comes with scalable processing from an Intel Atom Bay Trail processor to an Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 dual or quad core processor.
Greg Tiedemann, director data bus solutions, DDC, said: 'DDC is teaming with Kontron to leverage the proven performance of their Cobalt Rugged Computing platform and DDC’s broad data bus product offering and technical capabilities to deliver optimised connectivity solutions to the defence, civil aviation and industrial markets.
'The Rugged Avionics Interface Computer broadens DDC's product portfolio ranging from best in class component solutions to fully integrated processor based systems, capable of addressing all available data network protocols.'
