Effective Video Handling on Unmanned Vehicles
This paper describes and illustrates some of the many applications for which the GE Intelligent Platforms ICS-8580 rugged video processor is an ideal solution. It has the flexibility and features to greatly ease the system integration burden by providing one platform that can be used in many different ways.
The ICS-8580 and the standalone daq8580 are truly unique products in the rugged COTS market. The ICS-8580 and daq8580 are interchangeable for any of the applications cited in this document.
Assessing the Right Fit for Low Volume, Complex Military/Aerospace Projects
While outsourcing is never an easy process, there is often a fairly broad range of solutions within the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry for projects with medium-to-high production volumes. Similarly, job shops offer solutions for many low volume, low complexity projects.
However, low volume, complex mission critical projects can be far more difficult to source. Lower volumes can drive sourcing challenges and inefficient line utilization in contractors whose business models are primarily focused on medium-to-high volume production. Job shops often lack the processes, infrastructure and breadth of supply chain needed to support complex military/aerospace projects.
