Enquiring about: Aviation Airspace – Counter UAV Systems
The Challenges:
Requirements for 1U high performance, ruggedised servers to deliver the required video processing capability and the integration of the customers’ radar and observation equipment into a portable case that weighed less than 60kg
The equipment integration requires custom patch panels for ease of equipment connectivity, ensuring reliability during transportation and use in the field
Designed to meet MIL-STD 810G vibration, MIL-STD 461 EMC standards and operations temperature 0°C to+40°C with ingress protection IP65
Delivery from contract award to deployment in two months
The Solution
System design optimising size, weight and power (SWaP) of the solution meeting the two person lift criteria
Selection of rugged COTS 19” rack cases to support lead time and minimise customisation requirements in the integration of the equipment
Designed short depth 1U servers to support weight target and allowing improved space at the rear for equipment connectivity. Using locking connectors for critical data connections
Project management to ensure the solution is fully compliant to specification and standards and delivered to the deadline
The Outcome
The customer received a fully integrated deployable C2 rack solution meeting all specification requirements
Ruggedised deployable solution supporting ease of transportation and setup
Customised 1U rack solution which helped reduce weight and can withstand shock and vibration compliance to EMC standards set
Long-life hardware selected for repeatable future projects and field support
Project deployment within two months meeting a critical need in the projection air space in both civil and defence applications
