properly and are inaccurate at low airspeeds. LASSI can be located completely inside the aircraft and is accurate at low airspeeds. It can even measure negative air velocities. These features should ensure that the equipment is robust against damage, require less maintenance and be easier to operate at lower airspeeds. “A significant benefit is that LASSI has the potential to detect air speed at a distance, meaning an aircraft could predict oncoming turbulence and change course accordingly.” BAE Systems has successfully trialled LASSI in a low speed wind tunnel and on ground vehicles. Engineers from the Company predict the component technology could be miniaturised and be in use within the next five years and are now investigating how it could be integrated in future aircraft.

consumption decrease of over 10% when compared to DDR3, it dramatically reduces power supply demands, system cooling requirements and potential packaging density. Mont Taylor, Vice President of Business Development at e2v inc, commented, “We’re excited to offer an advanced DDR3L memory solution with a military temperature range. The reduced power consumption and high performance satisfies the harsh demands of ruggedized embedded systems and helps reduce special cooling requirements.”

e2v and Adeneo partner to create the world’s smallest, multicore computer, for aerospace applications e2v has partnered with French electronic design specialists, Adeneo, to develop an innovative, powerful and pocket-sized avionics computer weighing less than 300g. The new computer from e2v and Adeneo, achieves its ultra-compact size by combining e2v’sprocessing expertise and Adeneo’s state-of-the-art design and manufacturing capabilities. Adeneo has developed a three layer custom Printed Circuit Board design that integrates e2v’s QT10A powerful processing solution to create a rugged, ultra- compact avionics computer. The new COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) avionics computer measures just 70 x 50 x 40mm, which offers both size and weight reductions in aerospace systems. Peripheral communications pass through avionic standard connectors that can be used in many aerospace applications, including Unmanned Arial Vehicles, and will be flight ready in 2018. The QT10A, the heart of the computer, is the first product of e2v’s Qormino™ family, combining an NXP QorIQ™ T1040 processor with 1GB DDR3L memory on a custom substrate,

e2v releases its first military temperature grade DDR3L memory solution e2v has announced the release of its first DDR3L memory offering that operates from -55°C to 125°C for demanding applications. The new memory device, EVMT41K128M16JT, is a 2Gb DDR3L SDRAM and has been repackaged by e2v to withstand harsh environments, usually encountered by aerospace and defense systems. Sized at just 8mm x 14mm with a minimum operating voltage of 1.35V, its impeccable design means that it can support system simplification in modern designs, while remaining backwards compatible with systems operating 1.5V DDR3 memory. This DDR3L has standard 8n-bit prefetch architecture and is internally configured as an 8-bank DRAM. It has programmable read and write latency, with an incredibly fast access time of 1066 MT/s.
