HARDWARE SOLUTIONS
Graphics hardware IP solutions and single board computers
COTS-D designs, or COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) designs, are single board computer and graphics hardware IP solutions designed to be certifiable to the highest levels of safety criticality. With COTS-D solutions, integrators receive a license to manufacture the designs in their own manufacturing facilities or at a contract manufacturer of their choice. The license includes the design data that is transferred to the integrator in the form of a complete technical data package, from which the design can be manufactured, supported and maintained as with any other internally developed product. This approach to manufacturing safety-critical hardware meets in-country investment and control requirements for safe supply and repair.
All COTS-D products are offered with evidence of DO-254 certification to be used in conjunction with other evidence to support system certification. Designed and developed in the same way as traditional COTS hardware solutions, COTS-D products are verified and qualified before the IP is available for manufacturing.
Use Case
COTS-D is available in standard 3U VPX and XMC form factors, in air-cooled or conduction-cooled variants, addressing the needs of airborne or military vehicles. These standard form factors reduce the size, weight and power (SWaP) required for mission-critical hardware and are suitable for a variety of robust, safety-critical industrial command and control applications.
