“This order demonstrates Abaco’s strength in electronic warfare and radar systems, with our ability to combine the key elements of the solution.”

“We were able to work with the customer throughout the development of the system with a series of proofs-of-concept that demonstrated our ability to fulfil all aspects of the requirement.”

Abaco’s SBC347D rugged 3U VPX single-board computer has been designed to support demanding high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) military / aerospace applications such as command and control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), signal processing, radar / sonar, and electronic warfare.

The VP780 is a high-performance Xilinx Virtex-7 VPX card that features advanced digital signal processing capabilities.

The FMC140 is an analogue-to-digital (A/D) FMC daughter card that can be best used in cases where limited space is available such as radar / sonar, wireless telecommunications, as well as aerospace test and measurement instruments.

Expected next year, the follow-on contracts will be awarded to support the US Navy and several other European customers.
