Embedded Systems VGC

Computer systems with small form factor

Computers with specialised tasks for sensor monitoring, signal processing, control and regulation often do not require a user interface, since their tasks are subject to limited boundary conditions.

Precisely because embedded computers are essential for the operation of military vehicle systems, system developments by KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics are highly fail-safe and specifically qualified for use under the toughest conditions and extreme temperatures according to military standards.

Performance overview:

  • Embedded system
  • Wide variety of serial bus interfaces on separate sockets
  • Auto-on function once supply voltage is applied
  • Implementation with own housing or as a circuit board
  • Link between serial bus system and vehicle network
  • Highly fail-safe

Embedded Systems


The plus points

Central link between network and weapon system



EMC

An aluminium housing ensures EMC compatibility. KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics applies various civil norms and standards as well as MIL-SPECS for this purpose.

On-board voltage network

KNDS Mission Electronics ensures smooth operation on the vehicle’s electrical system through the application of VG96916, MIL-STD-1275 and ISO 16750-2. This guarantees that the vehicle server harmonises with the power supply system, does not negatively influence the system or take damage itself.

Maintenance

A CMOS battery which can be replaced from the outside simplifies maintenance. This means that the device does not have to be sent in and is available more quickly for the next deployment.

Modularity

The system control unit can be adapted to meet the customer’s requests and requirements in every respect, from the interfaces and memory to customer-specific functionalities.

KNDS Mission Electronics ensures smooth operation on the vehicle’s electrical system through the application of VG96916. This guarantees that the embedded system harmonises with the power supply system, does not negatively influence the system or take damage itself.

Thermal stability

The embedded system boasts high thermal stability and does not require active cooling thanks to its fan-free design.

Supervision

The internal monitoring electronics monitor and control the embedded system accordingly, such as by automatically shutting down if environmental conditions could damage the system.

Qualification

The devices keep out water and dust, withstand salt fog, hold up to fluctuating pressures and the extended temperature range, and reliably process data under heavy shocks and vibrations.

Functions

  • Embedded computers from KNDS Mission Electronics are adapted to the customer’s specific requirements or to one or more specific tasks and functions. They are in constant interaction with the vehicle’s environment and react to the surrounding technical process as part of a greater system.
