Overview
Radar technology is currently
going through a great revival, with an absolutely incredible array of
application usages from military to commercial
implementations. Radar
applications range from collision avoidance, guidance, tracking,
vision,
measurements, motion sensing, and navigation. With these all-inclusive
functions, comes the enormous pressure to meet stringent requirements
for size,
weight, range, speed and power, as well as requirements driven by
budget,
mission time, and footprint constraints. In addition, there is a
complex
merging of functions or missions being assigned to a flexible
multi-tasking
subsystem, all seamlessly integrated by a common system architecture.
In order to meet these demands, CES radar subsystems utilize
high-speed interconnections and are available in different form-factors
(VPX, VXS, VME, CompactPCI, etc.). Our subsystems are
precision-engineered with highly innovative properties such as;
tightly-coupled processor-to-FPGA interfaces, separate data and control
planes, deterministic data bandwidth topology control software, and
performance monitoring software. Based on our experiences in developing
radar subsystems, as well as the use of COTS elements and building
blocks, we are able to rapidly construct custom radar subsystems, from
small to more demanding radar platforms.

With our fourth generation of VME/VXS processor boards, CES introduced HYDRA, a FPGA-based multi-Gigabit link interconnect, providing a close coupling of processor memories and FPGAs across board boundaries. Based on this technology, CES provides basic building blocks for radar processors, in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled environments. A new generation of radar processing platforms, which combines the benefits of HYDRA and PCIe is now available. |
