INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Aerospace requires cutting-edge innovations, advanced technologies, and durable materials to ensure the strength needed for the intense demands of aircraft operation and the dependability required for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites in the vastness of space. Within aircraft, industrial computers govern flight systems, oversee avionics, and improve passenger comfort. For LEO satellites, they facilitate data collection, processing, and transmission, supporting vital functions such as remote sensing, communications, and navigation.
CHALLENGES
SIGNAL STRENGTH AND STABILITY
Ubiquitous connectivity is the future. Aircraft require it to implement cutting-edge applications, and LEOs extend it to remote communities and oceans where cellular connectivity doesn’t exist due to cost and infrastructure limitations.
VARIOUS PERIPHERALS
The computer must connect to multiple systems and parts, from telemetry and GNSS to data delivery and environmental monitoring, so relying on a standardized computer system requires peripherals to suit every scenario.
SPACE CONSTRAINTS
Computer systems operating under challenging conditions in space-constrained aircraft and LEOs must balance compact design against the imperative for reliability and durability needed to enable continuous operation and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS
Innodisk’s industrial memory, storage, expansion modules, and edge AI systems provide reliability, stability, high performance, and low latency for aerospace applications. They help aerospace developers capitalize on efficiency gains and modern technologies while accommodating exacting customizations for unique installations.
LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY
Our lineup is designed to last. Our industrial-grade products are ESD-protected and can handle a wide range of temperatures. They also feature an acrylic conformal coating that acts as a protective layer over the DRAM PCB, safeguarding against acid, dust, and other harmful materials.
COMPREHENSIVE PERIPHERALS
Our complete range of memory, NVMe SSDs, 10GbE, and network modules has been carefully designed for the most challenging environments. We also offer expansion options, such as camera modules for environmental monitoring and CAN Bus modules for controlling other devices within the aircraft or satellite.
DESIGNED FOR SMALL SPACES
Aerospace applications are space-limited. It’s the nature of keeping things in the air. We know this and have special products in each category to accommodate this requirement. Innodisk also has a dedicated team of experts who work closely with you to design a solution that meets your unique requirements and special requests.
