Aerospace and Defense Science and Medical Industrial Automation Test, Measurement and Data Recording Digital Video and Security Telephony and Communications Broadcast and Multimedia (click on links for sample case studies) Aerospace and Defense Customer Application: Our customer, who is a major defense contractor, needed a rugged simulation system for a high speed data acquisition project in support of a large Defense contract. The application involved the streaming of data to DMA memory at over 2.4MB per second without impacting the video output performance. The contract mandated that the system be configured of leading edge commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components to support the life of the 3 year program. Due to the harsh environments where the systems will be deployed, each system needed to withstand high shock and vibration specifications in order to survive transport to each location. Core Solution: Core Systems designed a solution that exceeded the customer ’s specification using leading-edge COTS components which provided a fast yet extremely stable platform. The 4U integrated system was based on our RAPTOR-4341 configuration. Based on the latest chipsets, we integrated a long life ATX motherboard and dual core CPU to allow us to support this configuration for 2 years past their specified 3 years of program support. In order to satisfy the rigorous shock and vibration specifications we utilized a bulk head card hold bar to support each feature card in their respective slots then shock isolated the hard drive cage to protect against severe vibration. Each short depth 4U system was controlled via one of our 19 ” clamshell LCD ’s which were mounted into their custom designed transport cases. Science and Medical Customer Application: Our customer operates an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in depths of 8,000 to over 16,000 feet. The main goal is scientific exploration of the oceans using the ROVs ’ sonar processor, real-time video overlay system, vehicle health monitoring systems and navigation system. Core Solution: Core systems developed a solution for the entire ROV data control rack. Due to the unique setup of the control rack we provided a combination of 1U and 2U Dual Core CPU systems for rack space optimization and overall system multi-task speed. Multiple 1U rack mount displays, keyboards and KVM ’s were mounted in the console allowing multiple operators to conduct simultaneous task during the same underwater mission. Industrial Automation Customer Application: Our customer is the premier manufacturer and innovator of sport optics and clothing. Their name is synonymous with sport and they have managed to elevate their designs to the level of art. The application was a high powered industrial computer to run their Stereolithographic computer modeling. They wanted to use the computer modeling combined with CAD/CAM liquid laser prototyping to create fully detailed, wearable prototypes of eyewear and footwear. The Rapid iteration of working models would allow for extensive testing and perfecting of product design before introduction to the public.
