Mission Management Computer

EMCOMO Solutions supplied a lightweight conduction-cooled Computer System as Mission Management Computer for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The system is based on the following components:

• ultra-lightweight conduction-cooled chassis (IP65)
• 5 Slot 3U cPCI backplane with slot for M-style power supply
• I/O transition board incl. slot for mSATA SSD
• 28V DC Power Supply with M-style connector
• 2x x86 Core i7 CPU board
• PowerPC CPU board
• Xilinx FPGA Board
• Gigabit Ethernet Switch
• mSATA SSD on I/O transition board

The ultra-leightweight conduction-cooled chassis was built according to the customer requirements with a project specific backplane. All I/O signals from the CompactPCI boards used are routed through the backplane to the I/O transition board so no internal cabling is needed. An mSATA SSD module is mounted on the  I/O transition module and serves as mass storage for the Core i7 CPUs.

The 3 CPUs and the FPGA are internally connected via GbE through the Gigabit Ethernet Switch. The external I/Os of the system are 5x GbE, 3x Serial and 2x GPIOs.

All external I/Os and the 28 VDC are routed to the 38999 connectors mounted on the transitions board. 

EMCOMO services:
