Our massively Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®) gives you the most modular, agile and rugged COTS portfolio of embedded smart modules, I/O boards, Single Board Computers, Power Supplies and Ruggedized Systems of its kind. All are pre-engineered to work together today and be easily changed, reused or re-purposed down the road. We’ve used FPGAs and SoCs to create smart modules that enable you to rapidly create configurable mission systems – while reducing or eliminating SBC overhead.
COSA meets a wide range of complex and time-critical requirements in a distributed, intelligent, software-driven architecture that allows you to rethink the way you engineer power-critical and I/O-intensive mission systems.
The breadth of available, off-the-shelf functions makes it likely that we can meet your I/O requirements, no matter how intense or precise, better than any other COTS systems supplier and without NRE.
Select 3-6 Smart Function Modules (based on 3U or 6U form factor) that deliver the functionality your application requires:
| I/O |
|---|
| Analog-to-Digital |
| Digital-to-Analog |
| Discrete |
| Differential Discrete |
| TTL/CMOS |
| Relay |
| Chip Detect / Fuzz Burn |
| Variable Reluctance |
Select an I/O Board or SBC that meets your form factor & Operating System needs.
