Embedded electronics with aggressive environmental requirements
The team developed a 5KW power supply for fixed mounted Counter-Radiation Electronic Warfare (jamming), installed in buildings in the middle east. The system included capability to pull power from multiple 15A 110V services in parallel and combine into multiple AC and DC output connections. Power supply design, filtering, and packaging were challenging, as well as thermal design and environmental sealing.
The team designed and developed a vehicle-mounted system which combined multiple IP-based radio cards along with specialized electronics that priovide a "switchboard" capability to traditional military radios such as MBITR and others. This capability allows IP-type direct addressing cross multiple types of radios and frequencies.
Bluefin developed a compact, lightweight& rugged handheld device including laser designation, day/night camera with see-spot capability, video stabilization & tracking, laser range finding, as well as IMU, magnetometer, north-finder, secured SAASM GPS.
The team of engineers designed and manufactured this helmet-mounted display unit to train tank/track vehicle operators. The end customer was foreign military with tough requirements for ruggedness and reliability. The team developed custom electronics, displays and adjustable optics.
The team developed a highly-rugged power supply for vehicle-mounted Counter-Radiation Electronic Warfare (jamming), in vehicles such as up-armored HMMWVs in the middle east. The system included large DC-DC conversion capability. Power supply design, filtering, and packaging were challenging, as well as thermal design and environmental sealing.
Automated vision system, installed in a mobile Howitzer, which inspects the gun barrel for debris, prior to firing. Extremely rugged environmental specifications, including closed loop heating and cooling for camera and diode lasers. Hardened for shock and vibration as well as Nuclear/Chemical/Biological. Certified shock, vibe & thermal performance through mechanical and thermal transient Finite Element Analyses.
The team designed and developed a packable version of the original cross-banding radio which combined multiple IP-based radio cards along with specialized electronics that priovide a "switchboard" capability to traditional military radios such as MBITR and others. This capability allows IP-type direct addressing cross multiple types of radios and frequencies.
The team of engineers supported a Tier 1gov’t contractor to develop and produce these battery-powered, WiFi-enabled military training devices implementing a precision inertial and ultrasonic motion tracking system with wireless video. Our team designed electromechanical systems including microdisplay implementations, manufactured, assembled, and tested the systems for delivery to the US Marine Corp.
The team developed a rugged, packable software-defined-radio system for extremely austere environments including airdrop. Challenges included aggressive thermal and environmental performance requirements, plus light weight via a tough composite outer shell.
The team developed concepts for a rugged, packable Counter-Radiation Electronic Warfare (CREW) system to emit RF energy in a specific sequence across specific frequencies. Challenges included aggressive thermal and environmental performance requirements, plus light weight and maximum duration from a portable battery.
The team developed a concept for a rugged, modular, vehicle-mounted Counter-Radiation Electronic Warfare (CREW) system to emit RF energy in a specific sequence across specific frequencies. Challenges included aggressive thermal and environmental performance requirements, effective airflow management, and modularity for mounting in a variety of vehicles.
