Air Force Selects Space Micro Inc to Develop Software Defined Radio for Space
Space Micro designs and produces radiation hardened electronics for space
This reconfigurable hardware, called the Micro Software Defined Radio (µSDR™) will be ideally suited for several Air Force satellites to support the various ground forces and aircraft around the world. Traditional software defined radios have major problems in radiation environments, such as those that exist in space. The µSDR™ will be scalable, reconfigurable, and radiation hardened against the harsh space environment, making it suitable for long term satellite use.
Dr. Bert Vermeire, CTO at Space Micro, said “this is a big step, both for Space Micro and for the space industry. There is a definite need for a radiation hardened software defined radio for space, and we have the technology and experience to create one.”
The µSDR™ will incorporate will incorporate Space Micro’s proven radiation mitigation techniques along with innovative new solutions that will drastically improve the reliability and functionality of software defined radios in space.
Space Micro Inc specializes in payload and communications equipment for satellites, and is a pioneer and leader in technologies that enable Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) electronic devices to be deployed in space. Radiation in space is damaging to electronics. Space Micro has developed patented technologies to mitigate radiation effects on state-of-art commercial electronics. Space Micro offers space-qualified radiation hardened microelectronics, from radiation hardened by design (RHBD) technologies to space rated single board computers (RH SBC). Space Micro offers the world’s fastest space radiation hardened line of radiation hardened computers. These space computers include the Proton200k™ DSP-based RH SBC, Proton300k™ SRAM-based reconfigurable space computer (RH RCC), and Proton400k™ multi-core PowerPC-based RH SBC. In addition to satellite computers, Space Micro offers satellite communications equipment such as Space-Ground Link System (µSGLS™ / RH SGLS / RH SGLS-USB / µSTDN™ / RH STDN transponders), Ka Band transmitter (µKa™ Wide Band Radiation Hardened Transmitter), X/UHF/VHF-Band transponders and power amplifiers (RH PA) and custom boxes. Other Space Micro developments include Proton X-Box™, TTMR™(Time Triple Modular Redundancy), H-CORE™ circuitry for Single Events Functional Interrupt (SEFI) mitigation, SEMS™ Space Weather Box and Divert Attitude Control System (RH DACS). Space Micro is an employee-owned company based in San Diego, CA, USA.
