Custom Embedded Systems


 
Small Form Factor Embedded Computers for Intelligent Simulated Displays

Compact embedded simulation devices

BRS provides Custom Embedded Systems for handling unique interfaces, rendering specialized graphics, and generating aural cues. These systems can be designed to deal with virtually any combination of interface signals encountered in trainers for simulating and/or stimulating aircraft equipment. We can provide all hardware and software engineering from the proposal stage through final sell-off.

Most systems are built using high-density Industry Packs, housed within standard COTS industrial PCs. Compact applications utilize small form factor PC/104 CPUs with expansion boards. Other unique or high-volume interface systems are housed in VME chassis, using a single-board computer to control the individual interface boards.
 
Smart boxes made smarter

    Multiple applications can be combined into our custom interface systems to simplify trainer configurations, such as:

  • Embedded radar simulation
  • I/O monitoring
  • Interfaces to aircraft equipment
  • Real-time aural cues
  • Custom graphics applications
  • Offline custom utilities
  • Real-time deterministic software processing
