Parvus Low-Power Mission Computer Subsystem with MIL-STD-1553 Databus Interfaces Completes MIL-STD Environmental / EMI Qualification - MIL/AEROSPACE
Eurotech subsidiary Parvus Corporation announces that the DuraCOR 830, a rugged tactical mission processor subsystem based on an ultra-low power Intel Atom CPU with integrated MIL-STD-1553 databus interfaces has successfully completed military standard qualification testing to extreme MIL-STD-810G environmental conditions, MIL-STD-461F electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC), and MIL-STD-1275/704 power requirements.
WithOptimally designed for Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)-constrained military / aerospace vehicle and aircraft installations, the DuraCOR 830 is mechanically compact (<4” tall, <4lbs weight) and low power (<19W max), this small form-factor computer subsystem integrates Gigabit Ethernet and dual MIL-STD-1553 connectivity from Data Device Corporation (DDC), along with digital I/O and standard PC interfaces, including analog video, audio, 3x USB, 2x RS-232 serial, keyboard, and mouse. For application flexibility, the unit comes with a removable CompactFlash disk pre-loaded with a Linux or Windows Embedded operating system and a second industrial solid state disk (SSD) for additional file storage.
The MIL-STD-810 / 461 qualification parameters included:
• Operating Temperature: -40° to +71°C (-40° to +160°F)
• Storage Temperature: -40° to +85°C (-40° to 185°F)
• Shock: 40g Operating Shock, 75g Crash Hazard Shock
• Random Vibration: Jet, Helicopter and Tracked Vehicle Test Profiles
• Humidity: Up to 95% RH, NC (Conformal Coated PWBs)
• Water / Dust Ingress: Sealed IP67 Enclosure - 1 Meter, 30 Minutes Immersion, No Dust Ingress
• Altitude: 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) Operating, 60,000 feet (18,288 meters) Storage
• Rapid Decompression: 8,000 to 40,000 ft (2,438 to 12,192 meters)
• Conducted Emissions: CE102, Power Leads, 10 KHz to 10MHz, basic curve
• Conducted Susceptibility: CS101, Power Leads, 30 Hz to 150 KHz, curve 2 (28V and below)
• Radiated Emissions: RE102, Electric Field, 10 KHz to 18 GHz, figure 3
• Radiated Susceptibility: RS103, Electric Field, 30 MHz to 18 GHz
• Steady State Power Input Voltages, Spikes, Surges per MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704
The DuraCOR 830 is currently shipping, and due to its modular PC/104-Plus architecture, open card slots and I/O expansion capabilities can be special ordered with customized I/O. Customers can contact sales@parvus.com for pricing and lead time information.
