The demands of aerospace and defense applications have been driven by size, weight, and power (SWaP). The trends in this industry will be identified, and the ways Power Architecture meets the requirements of control and signal processing in trusted computing architecture will be addressed.

The network-centric operation concept involves the rapid and continuous implementation of new capabilities through spiral evolution. With 30 years of experience in embedded market segments, Intel provides commercial technology leadership to help aerospace and defense industry developers accelerate the transformation to network-centric solutions. Intel's intensive research-and-development effort drives the nonstop advances in commercial technology and development of new generations of processors that balance improvements in power, performance, functionality, and cost.

Supporting unmanned and manned vehicles with extremely complex and powerful systems is driving the demand to develop and deploy an exponentially growing number of applications on smaller systems at a rate unseen by the aerospace and defense industry. Multicore processor platforms can solve many of these requirements, but the use of these systems is challenging and changes dramatically with multicore platforms. This seminar will demonstrate how to take advantage of the industry's most advanced multicore silicon in next-generation programs by using advanced tools and software components from Wind River.

The increasing complexity of aerospace and defense systems that can be rapidly deployed in theaters requiring high levels of safety and security is driving the demand for proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) safety and security artifacts for software systems. This seminar discusses the array of COTS safety and security products from Wind River that are proven to accelerate the deployment of systems into critical environments.
