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 …
Metromatics is pleased to announce the availability of the latest Spectra Defense Technologies portfolio. Providing Australian and New Zealand defence organisations with access to a comprehensive range of rugged data recorders, mission computers, encrypted storage systems, displays, and integrated C5ISR solutions. …
High-resolution visualisation and mission-system integration for modern C5ISR applications across air, land and maritime environments. Metromatics is pleased to introduce the Spectra Defense Technologies Rugged 4K UHD Display Family to customers across Australia and New Zealand. Firstly, they are designed for …
Industrial maintenance teams are responsible for keeping production equipment running with minimal downtime. When circuit boards fail, troubleshooting must happen quickly—even when schematics are unavailable or equipment cannot be powered safely. Huntron power-off PCB diagnostic tools use Analog Signature Analysis (ASA). …
Embedded GPU processing is increasingly used in airborne and near-space sensing platforms. Especially, where size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints limit conventional computing options. A recent example described by WOLF Advanced Technology is the PUEO stratospheric balloon mission operating above Antarctica. …
C5ISR at the Tactical Edge C5ISR stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. It defines how Defence systems collect, process, and act on data in real time. In modern Defence platforms—whether land, naval, or airborne—this involves managing …
What is an FPGA? A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device. Firstly, that allows engineers to implement custom digital hardware circuits after the device has been manufactured. An FPGA contains: These elements can be configured to implement complex …
