This Control Actuation System (CAS) is a guidance system for unmanned flying objects. It consists of three MPS fin actuators that each independently position an aerodynamic fin. The maximum angle of incidence is ±8°, which allows the device to carry out highly precise dynamic manoeuvres. The miniature fin actuators that make up this Control Actuation System are manufactured by MPS Microsystems and were designed based on customer specifications. Designed to guide a very small object and disposing of an extremely limited space, these fin actuators meet strict requirements in terms of performance, weight - less than 100 g - and dimensions. To reduce the length of this actuator, MPS Microsystems used part of the screw length as the motor axis. This screw is equipped with a very compact 4-point contact bearing that simultaneously absorbs axial and radial loads. The angular play on the aileron axis is less than 0.1° rms. This actuator meets the storage and vibration requirements of military equipment.

Introducing the EXOtube universal modular adapter for rideshare missions. This launch vehicle-agnostic payload stack provides maximum flexibility to customers and simplifies mission execution for our launch partners. EXOtube is an adaptive load-bearing structure for adaptation, integration and launch and deployment of the entire range of smallsats from cubesats to 1000 kg microsats.

V-BAT Teams is powered by Hivemind, the world’s best AI pilot and the most strategic defense tech of our generation. AI pilots enable aircraft to maneuver without GPS or communications and enable the concept of intelligent teaming – the ability to autonomously read and react to each other, adversaries, and the environment to accomplish the mission.

The VPX3-C11 which provides a full 3U OpenVPX(VITA 65) is a Single Board Computer(SBC) that combines the power, versatility, cost-effectiveness of the 11th generation Intel Xeon W processor and RM590E PCH chipset with the reliability. VPX3-C11 is based on the Intel Xeon W- 11865MLE CPU that has 8 cores running at max 4.5GHz and providing 32Gbytes of high-bandwidth DDR4 SDRAM. Intel Xeon processor includes an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 11th Gen(32 EU) graphics engine, providing discrete GPU performance with OpenGL for graphicsintensive applications. For storage application VPX3-C11 provides the built-in 80GB SLC NVMe SSD solution via PCIe x4 lanes as well as the external SATA expansion through VPX site. The VPX3-C11 satisfies the demanding applications ranging from tactical aircraft to armoured vehicles to rugged industrial systems, with its rich complement of features and I/O including Intel Graphics, Integrated Platform Management Interface, Gigabit Ethernet, DIO, Serial channels, USB ports and more. Especially VPX3-C11 was designed to keep the pin compatibility with VPX3-C11, previous 6th Generation model in terms of I/O interface signal arrangement.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Dave!

Operate the automated artillery system according to the operating procedure. It is the highest level controller of the automated artillery system that collects status information from each unit device controller that composes the automated artillery system, diagnoses faults and builds a database. - VxWorks operating system - Operating system recovery function - Building a failure history database in the built-in SSD - Check unit control device status information through communication
