ATCA – A Fit for Military and Government Applications

RadiSys Corporation Confidential9

Requirements for new MAG Applications

• Move to all IP communications

– Enable Voice and Real Time Data Transmission

• Rapid Deployment of new technologies and applications

– Leverage COTS hardware and Software to accelerate deployment

• Need for better cost / performance / watt solutions

• Mission Critical

– System Reliability and Availability

• Fast Time to Repair

– Hot Swap of failing units

• Operation in Harsh Environments

– Temperature and Shock / Vibration

RadiSys Corporation Confidential10

The New MAG Applications

• P-8A Poseidon Program

– Military Derivative Aircraft

– Surveillance, Intelligence, Anti-Surface Warfare

– Requires High Performance, Reliable Compute Networks

– Limited Footprint

• Lockheed Martin Wideband Data Systems

– Requires very high data throughput

• Future Combat Systems

• Joint Tactical Radio Systems

• Warfighter Information Network – Tactical

– Are all heavily Communication Centric

– Require high performance and throughput

RadiSys Corporation Confidential11

A Commercial Equivalent ?

• Modern Telecommunications Systems are

– IP Centric for Data and Voice

– Operate in Relatively Harsh environments

– Highly Available

– Highly Reliable

– Designed for ease of Maintenance

– Cost Effective

– Scalable

– High Performance

RadiSys Corporation Confidential12

Why AdvancedTCA ?

• ATCA is an industry standard architecture, PICMG 3.0, that

is designed to meet the needs of today‟s demanding
