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...]
Company to validate next-generation cooling system for aircraft avionics with Air Force
Fairchild Controls Corporation, an EADS North America company, has signed a teaming agreement with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to evaluate innovative cooling system technologies for avionics and mission systems aboard military aircraft. The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) will result in the joint development and operation of a … [Read more...]
Natural Convection Cooling, Expanded I/O Packed into Rugged Control Unit
Aitech Defense Systems Inc. now offers the NightHawk RCU, a rugged, compact Intel Atom-based, self-contained control unit that weighs only 4.5 pounds. The weight reduction, combined with a slim profile and natural convection/radiation cooling that dissipates up to 22 W at +55°C in stagnant (non-flowing) air, or at up to 71°C with an optional low pressure fan or baseplate, makes … [Read more...]
Direct Spray Cooling and System-level Comparisons
Introduction As power densities of embedded electronics increase, cooling becomes a challenge especially in harsh environments. Liquid cooling is accepted as an attractive cooling method for an increasing number of applications. Direct spray is a particularly efficient form of liquid cooling that has recently been included on several manned and unmanned military platforms. This … [Read more...]
