Curtiss-Wright Controls Electronic Systems has introduced a new, rugged 6-slot 3U OpenVPX (or 7-slot 3U CompactPCI) conduction cooled chassis for harsh military environments. The SFF-6 Small Form Factor Chassis is the newest member of Electronic Systems’ Hybricon® family of advanced military COTS electronic packaging solutions and features the company’s CoolWall™ thermal … [Read more...]
Military Electronics Thermal Management Challenges Spark Innovation
Several trends are influencing thermal management in military and aerospace environments, including smaller electronic packages, components that fit into tighter spaces, and more powerful chips and IC packages. Packing more powerful components into smaller air-tight spaces creates major heat dissipation problems, an example of how size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints … [Read more...]
Firm Receives Contracts for U.S. Navy Gun Computer System Cabinets
The Electronics Group of Orbit International Corp, an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, has received several awards from a U.S. Navy Procurement Agency valued in excess of $2,465,000 for its MK 119 Gun Computer System Cabinet (GCSC) and MK 437 Gun Mount Control Panels (GMCP). The MK 119 GCSC is an unmanned, environmentally-isolated shipboard enclosure … [Read more...]
Military Issues Press for New Materials Development
Pressing needs for new ways to cool electronics for aerospace and defense applications are encouraging the development of new materials to wick heat away from components on boards and in chassis, and also is providing incentive for systems designers to rethink their commitment to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology. One approach to removing heat efficiently from military … [Read more...]
Nanowick at Heart of New System To Cool ‘Power Electronics’
Researchers have shown that an advanced cooling technology being developed for high-power electronics in military and automotive systems is capable of handling roughly 10 times the heat generated by conventional computer chips, according to a research paper appearing online in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. Written by mechanical engineering doctoral … [Read more...]
