1. Reliability and Durability
- Problem: Defence and aerospace applications require systems that are highly reliable and durable under extreme conditions.
- Solution: Sarsen supplies and supports ruggedised embedded computers that can withstand harsh environments, extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference, and compliance with industry standards including MIL-STD-810 and D0-160.
2. High Performance and Real-Time Processing
- Problem: Many applications in defence and aerospace demand high-performance computing capabilities and real-time data processing.
- Solution: We can provide high-performance embedded computers with advanced processors, FPGAs and GPUs and real-time operating systems (RTOS) to ensure efficient and timely data processing. Check out our FPGA Boards here.
3. Security and Compliance
- Problem: Security is a paramount concern in defence and aerospace to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with strict regulations.
- Solution: Our products can be supplied with advanced security features such as hardware encryption, ECC memory, TPMs, secure boot and SecureCOTS™.
4. Customisation and Scalability
- Problem: Each defence and aerospace application can have unique requirements, necessitating customised solutions.
- Solution: Based on your requirements, we can recommend customisable embedded computer solutions that can be tailored to meet specific needs, and offer scalable options to accommodate future upgrades and expansions. Modified Off The Shelf (MOTS) solutions are available in quantities as low as 100pcs, and additional processes such as conformal coating and solder dipping are fully supported.
5. Longevity and Lifecycle Management
- Problem: Long product lifecycles are essential in defence and aerospace to avoid frequent redesigns and certifications.
- Solution: All our product lines work hard to ensure long-term availability of components and systems, and we can offer lifecycle management services to support customers through their entire project lifecycle. Bonded stores of components can be held in long-term storage in facilities including IsoDry® static dissipative nitrogen desiccator cabinets.
6. Integration and Interoperability
- Problem: Embedded systems often need to integrate seamlessly with existing COTS platforms and technologies.
- Solution: Our products are available on industry standard form factors such as VPX, SOSA, PC/104, XMC, FMC and COM Express. We provide COTS boards and systems designed for easy integration and interoperability with other technologies, and we have a wide range of products that are compatible with existing legacy systems, including PXIe, VME and cPCI.
7. Technical Support and Training
- Problem: Advanced embedded applications require specialised knowledge for maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Solution: Our experienced senior sales engineers offer comprehensive technical support and documentation to assist customers in effectively using their products. We can arrange training sessions with manufacturers and are on hand throughout the life of your project to provide ongoing support whenever you need it.
8. Supply Chain and Delivery Assurance
- Problem: Timely and reliable delivery is crucial for defence and aerospace projects.
- Solution: The Operations Team at Sarsen has an impressive track record for providing reliable delivery schedules and maintaining a robust supply chain to ensure that our customers receive their products on time, helping to avoid downtime and project delays.
9. Energy Efficiency
- Problem: Many aerospace and defence applications require systems that are energy-efficient to extend operational life and reduce heat generation.
- Solution: Power and thermal characteristics of all the embedded products we supply are available, and many are optimised for low power consumption without compromising performance. We can work with your mechanical team to optimise your system thermal design with the design of thermal shims etc.
10. Data Management and Storage
- Problem: Managing and storing substantial amounts of data securely and efficiently is often a critical requirement.
- Solution: We can supply advanced data management and storage solutions, including high-capacity SSDs and secure data storage options.
By addressing these problems, we can provide significant value to our defence and aerospace customers, helping you achieve your operational goals with reliable, high-performance, and secure embedded computing solutions.
