Notes:
-
Sine vibration based on a sine sweep duration of 10 minutes per axis in each of three mutually perpendicular axes. May be displacement limited from 15 to 44 Hz, depending on specific test equipment.
-
Random vibration 60 minutes per axis, in each of three mutually perpendicular axes.
-
Three hits in each axis, both directions, 1/2 sine and saw tooth. Total 36 hits.
-
Standard air-flow is 8 cfm at sea level. Some higher-powered products may require additional airflow. Consult the factory for details.
-
Conformal coating type is manufacturing site specific. Consult the factory for details.
-
This is a non-standard product. Consult factory for availability.

Rugged Products for Military Applications
With more than 25 years of technology leadership behind it, CWCEC delivers cutting-edge embedded computing solutions to a wide range of demanding military and defense applications. As a key partner to major defense contractors, we are fully committed to serve strategic DoD initiatives with innovative electronics technologies that deliver a decisive advantage in today's network-centric battlefield and that refresh aging platforms with advanced technical capabilities. Our ingenuity can be seen in a number of critical defense programs - from UAVs that can conduct reconnaissance anywhere in the world to a fleet of all-weather, long-range helicopters designed for special missions behind enemy lines.
In the battlefield, our expertise gives our forces dominance through state-of-the-art architectures and cost-effective technology refresh programs that keep numerous military systems on the leading edge. These include:
- Advanced COTS-based Technology Refresh
Using a single board to address multiple processing functions, our COTS-based retrofit strategy reduces cost, size and power while increasing performance and capability for aging electronics in existing programs. In the last 24 months, our high-performance, cost-effective solutions have resulted in many design wins based on this strategy. - Ruggedized and Conduction-cooled Solutions
Mission-critical systems can operate in harsh conditions of temperature extremes, high humidity, shock, and random vibrations using our proven ruggedization methodology. - Open Systems Design
Boards based on our open-systems design methodology combine best-in-class technologies to achieve the quantum leap in performance and bandwidth required to move and process the massively parallel real time data streams of DSP applications such as radar, sonar, digital imaging. The open-systems approach ensures an easy migration path for technology upgrades and avoids the development pitfalls and high costs associated with proprietary solutions. - Modular Architecture
Various network topologies can be built cost effectively using emerging switch-fabric technologies. These high availability, high bandwidth crossbar topologies can be scaled by simply adding nodes for in-chassis, chassis-to-chassis, and rack-to-rack systems.
Making the Right Choice
On the program level, CWCEC delivers what each DoD program manager seeks in a technology choice: (1) exact conformance to specifications, (2) superior performance and quality, (3) low entry costs, (4) quick time to market, and (5) a robust investment return. This investment return begins with our Engineer-to-Engineer customer service support and wraparound software packages that give the development team a head start in program development, and concludes with a breadth of lifecycle services designed to sustain the program through several technological generations.
Record of Wins
Based on our broad military program experience, CWCEC has insights about many strategic defense initiatives that only a breadth of expertise and a wealth of experience can provide. The proof is in the programs we have won. Our record of success includes many of the US military's most successful platforms, ranging from surveillance (Predator UAV) to intelligent targeting (TOW-ITAS missile) to strategic retrofit to electronic upgrades. Along the way, we have won recognition and awards from partners such as Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and Northrup Grumman. Other program managers have followed suit, giving us a vote of confidence that equaled more than 50 design wins in the last eighteen months alone.
Partnership for the Long Term
CWCEC engineers never settle for the status quo. Time and again, our established partners rely on our ability to consistently deliver first-to-market designs with the best price-to-performance ratio in the industry. Our tack has paid off for the defense sector in terms of costs that are well below that of competing products and innovations that have raised the bar for customer support and design capabilities. MCOTS Program Support. Our dedication to our customer's success lasts throughout the program itself. After working closely with the development team, we take programs one step further by protecting the operational integrity of long-lived systems through our MCOTS program support services for full lifecycle sustainability.
