When support ends but the mission continues A rugged computer can remain central to a vehicle, aircraft or other mission-critical platform long after its original components become difficult to source. The operational requirement may not have changed at all. However, the …
Small torque fluctuations inside a gearbox, electric motor or driveline can create noticeable noise and vibration. Yet engineers often struggle to measure these events because the component may simultaneously transmit thousands of newton metres of torque. A conventional torque sensor may …
Chemical tank level monitoring gives operators remote visibility of stored liquids across industrial, agricultural and processing facilities. As a result, businesses can improve inventory planning, schedule deliveries and respond sooner when tank levels move outside nominated limits. LevelCon combines compatible industrial …
Modern military and specialist helicopters can carry sophisticated avionics, sensors, communications equipment and mission systems. Depending on the aircraft and its role, many of these systems generate data that may need to be captured, time-synchronised, processed or securely stored during flight. …
FUTEK has upgraded its IAA100 and IAA200 strain gauge analog amplifiers to deliver lower noise, improved stability and greater configuration flexibility for force, load, torque and pressure measurement applications. The IAA100 provides a voltage output for connection to data acquisition systems, …
Modern Military Operations Demand Computing at the Tactical Edge Modern defence operations generate enormous volumes of information from sensors, communications equipment, autonomous platforms and mission systems. Surveillance cameras, radar, electronic warfare sensors, GPS receivers, unmanned vehicles and battlefield networks all produce …

Excessive vibration in industrial plants can lead to equipment failures, reduced product quality, and structural damage. As well as, increased maintenance costs and even complaints from nearby communities. While vibration is a normal characteristic of many industrial processes. Identifying the specific …
A Practical Guide for Maintenance and Repair Teams When a printed circuit board fails, the first question many technicians ask is, “Where are the schematics?” Unfortunately, in many industrial environments, the answer is often the same: unavailable. Whether maintaining legacy manufacturing …
As defence and aerospace platforms increasingly adopt AI-enabled processing at the edge, selecting the right embedded computing architecture has become critical to performance, power efficiency and SWaP requirements. This whitepaper examines the evolution of rugged GPU technology and also compares NVIDIA …
