Solution Brief
Creating Next-Generation Military Tactical LRU with ADLINK PCIe/104 GPGPU Solutions
This solution brief introduces how ADLINK’s latest PCIe/104 GPGPU solution helped a leading aerospace and defense OEM successfully develop its next-generation military tactical line-replaceable unit (LRU). The role of LRU in cutting-edge aerospace and defense systems grows more critical and demanding with each passing year. Defined as a field-replaceable support item that, when swapped out, will restore the host device (such as a plane) to operational condition, LRUs must provide more performance and reliability than ever before to satisfy the needs of modern, increasingly AI-driven applications. In addition to providing support for hardware-based acceleration for AI-intensive workloads, ADLINK’s NVIDIA® Quadro® GPU based PC104 solution also enables critical functionality in environments that are increasingly rigorous and demanding in terms of size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C), providing the OEM with an ideal technology upgrade for its LRU lineup to enable various applications such as radar, SDR, EW, UGV/UAV and ISR.
