Overview:
Thermal and power management is widely considered to be the crucial link in the ability to embrace high-performance computing technology in military system design. Current and future generation processors create escalating thermal demands on military designers. This webcast with industry expert James Robles, will look at the latest solutions for improving power efficiency through cooling chips and boards as well as thermal issues in aging military platforms.
Robles' presentation - "Aerospace Thermal Management Challenges and Solutions, A Boeing Perspective" will discuss how the aerospace thermal management challenge is driven by 1) the user's inexhaustible demand for greater processing capability for Image Exploitation (IE) applications, such as Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and Moving Target Engagement (MTE), and for high data rate communications both on aircraft and spacecraft; 2) the move to More Electric Vehicles to reduce weight and power consumption by eliminating hydraulic actuation systems; and 3) the need for Directed Energy Weapons (DEW). This presentation will address trends in this area as well as selected potential solutions. Following Robles will be presentations from Richard Jaenicke of Mercury Computer Systems, Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing, and Tracewell Systems.
