Embodiments of the invention provide a removable memory unit (RMU) that facilitates concatenation of said memory modules irrespective of their individual physical interfaces, enables encryption/decryption keys (including cryptographic ignition keys (CIKs)) to reside onboard the RMU, provides for physical separation of RED and BLACK data in cross-domain environments and implements zeroization functionality onboard the RMU. Further embodiments provide a swappable IO backplane and adapter plates for incorporation into a wide variety of platforms.
摘要:
Some embodiments of the invention relate to WRAs that implement removable memory units (RMUs). The ability to load operational, maintenance, and mission data through RMUs is critical for avionics platform safety and logistics. However, due to strong hardware dependence, universality, or rather platform-invariance is not currently available for aircraft data acquisition (including the real-time recording of new performance, operational (flight) and environmental data) or mission data loading via prior art WRAs.

An optical impact system controls munitions termination through sensing proximity to a target and preventing effects of countermeasures on false munitions termination. Embodiments can be implemented on in a variety of munitions such as small and mid caliber that can be applicable in non-lethal weapons and in weapons of high lethality with airburst capability for example and in guided air-to-ground and cruise missiles. Embodiments can improve accuracy, reliability and lethality of munitions depending on its designation without modification in a weapon itself and make the weapon resistant to optical countermeasures.

Various embodiments of the invention provide a function centric data system that reduces avionics system weight and power requirements. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is housed in a vibration resistant package. A variety of functions typically performed by other avionics systems are incorporated into the system, allowing centralize power and processing management, reducing weight and improving system reliability. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is configured to provide high rate data sampling, allowing ground stations to apply sophisticated failure prediction algorithms, reducing maintenance costs and mean time between flights. Embodiments include methods of wireless networking with automatic hand offs and adaptive multi-hop topologies to allow this data to be promptly transferred when the aircraft lands. Embodiments also include methods for data processing to predict imminent failures using Bayesian statistics and catastrophe prediction methods.
摘要:
Two embodiments of a connector that can be mated without regard for its orientation are disclosed. One embodiment is mated and demated autonomously as part of a system for recovering, docking with, recharging and re-launching unmanned aerial vehicles. Another embodiment is employed on the decks of vessels to facilitate mating and demating of various equipment providing different functions to reconfigure the vessel. Because both embodiments are configured for connection irrespective of angular orientation over 360°, they are especially suited for harsh environments including autonomous operation, rough seas, darkness and the like.
摘要:
A non-transient computer usable medium has computer usable instructions embodied thereon, the computer usable instructions configured to cause a computer device to perform the steps of receiving an intermediate program code prior to execution of the intermediate program code; recognizing data storage commands within the intermediate program code; modifying the intermediate program code such that, during execution of the intermediate program code, the data is encrypted before it is stored; recognizing data retrieval commands within the intermediate program code; modifying the intermediate program code such that, during execution of the intermediate program code, the data is decrypted after it is retrieved; and providing the modified intermediate program code for execution.
