Themis VMEbus Single Board Computers Selected for HAWK-AMRAAM Customizable Medium-Range Air Defense System
Themis® Computer USPIIe boards provide the ruggedized COTS reliability and graphics required for use in demanding mobile missile command and control systems
Fremont, CA February 3, 2004--Themis Computer announced the use of its USPIIe-USB VMEbus single-board computers by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) for use in the HAWK-AMRAAM Fire Distribution Center. Jointly developed by KDA and Raytheon Company, the HAWK-AMRAAM is a transportable, customizable medium air defense system that is capable of controlling and coordinating the activities of air defense weapons interceptors and surface-to-air missiles in a full range of air operations. Under the agreement, Themis Computer will provide the USPIIe-USB to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace for use in mobile, land-based HAWK-AMRAAM command units.
Based in Kongsberg, Norway, KDA selected Themis USPIIe/3GP2 boards for its HAWK-AMRAAM command and control systems. The HAWK-AMRAAM is designed to interconnect multiple radars and missile systems to a centralized fire distribution center that fires AMRAAM missiles or other types of air defense missiles. KDA selected the USPIIe/3GP2 because of its high performance 3-D graphics, early availability of 650MHz UltraSPARC® processors, conformal coating, and Themis demonstrated support excellence.
Our USPIIe-USB family of single board computers provides the high performance, reliability and scalability required by todays increasingly demanding COTS aerospace and defense applications, stated William E. Kehret, president of Themis Computer. As a supplier to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace with earlier board products, its gratifying to see our latest high performance boards selected ahead of others, because our boards are ruggedized for reliability in extreme environments and because of our world class support. We continue to be focused on delivering the highest performance and highest quality embedded computers and systems commercially available, Mr. Kehret added.
Designed for configuration flexibility and high performance, Themis USPIIe-USB boards combine the latest 650 MHz UltraSPARC-IIi processors with a local PCI bus (PMC) peripheral controller slot and a high performance bridge. The USPIIe-USB is available in one-slot, two-slot and three-slot configurations. Each of the USPIIe-USB models includes a high performance VME64 interface, a dual Ultra3 80MB/sec SCSI port, up to two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports, and up to six RS-232 serial ports. Memory is expandable up to 4 Gbytes using memory mezzanine cards.
The USPIIe-USB/3GP2 is a three VMEbus slot configuration of the USPIIe-USB board with the optional TGA3D+ graphics accelerator, and provides users three PMC slots. This expanded I/O configuration provides AC97 audio, a second 10/100Base-T Ethernet port, two multiprotocol serial ports and a software readable front panel rotary switch. These features make it an ideal embedded processor for data and telecommunications applications.
The TGA3D+ is compatible with Sun Microsystems XVR-500 graphics processing board and operates with Themis new USPIIIi VMEbus computer and USPIIe-USB single-board-computer products. All graphics components, including the geometry processor, raster engine, PCI bridge and host interconnect, are included on the single slot board. The TGA3D+ board also includes a 32/64-bit, 33Mhz PMC slot, to provide additional PMC expansion options. The TGA3D+ provides exceptional geometry and texture mapping performance, dedicated frame buffer memory support and a wide range of resolution options making it an ideal choice for demanding graphics applications, such as real-time volumetric displays.
Themis USPIIe-USB boards and graphics adaptors support and are fully compatible with Solaris, the industry's leading Unix® Operating System. Solaris 9, Suns latest release, is today's preferred software development platform, with advanced multi-threading performance advantages, real-time characteristics, and a wide choice of off-the-shelf third party software. For demanding real-time applications, the USPIIe-USB also supports the latest operating system and development environment products.
