📋 Tender Overview
Mercury Systems Inc a leader in trusted secure mission-critical technologies for aerospace and defense announced the SCFE6931 processing module the first in the industry to incorporate integrated artificial intelligence AI processing functionality. Featuring dual Xilinx Versal AI Core adaptive compute acceleration platform ACAP processors the 6U OpenVPX heterogeneous processing module delivers performance improvements up to 20 more than todays fastest FPGA implementations and 100 more than todays fastest CPU implementations. The result is significantly more processing power for a wide variety of digital signal processing-intensive DSP applications such as radar 5G wireless electronic warfare EW and signals intelligence SIGINT.Demanding radar artificial intelligence and similar processing-intensive applications rely on rapid technology adoption to keep pace with evolving threats said Neal Austin vice president and general manager Mercury Microelectronics. Mercurys new ACAP-based signal processing modules meet our customers demand for greater processing power needed for real-time tactical decision making. From essential components and modules to pre-integrated subsystems our innovative portfolio of solutions is open scalable and easily integrates with our customers platforms demonstrating our commitment to Innovation that Matters.The Versal ACAP AI processing power and novel architecture maximizes performance regardless of application or data type by incorporating scalar processing vector processing and next-generation FPGA fabric into a single 6U module. Designed to be delivered in a variety of cooling options the SCFE6931 is ideal for applications that require high-performance operation in harsh environments. Additionally the modules OpenVPX SOSA-aligned design enables agile system integration. Like all Mercury FPGA boards the SCFE6931 module is built around EchoCore IP to provide design verification testing infrastructure functionality right out of the box optimizing time-to-market and reducing development time.Versal ACAPs have been architected to achieve new thresholds of system-level performance for a variety of aerospace and defense applications where size weight and power SWaP are critical said Manuel Uhm director of silicon marketing Xilinx. We are thrilled that Mercury Systems is developing rugged Versal-based solutions for faster time-to-market for these applications.Mercury envisions creates and delivers innovative technology solutions purpose-built to meet their customers most pressing high-tech needs.
