Chinook, Multi-Purpose Processor / FPGA Board
Brief Description: Introducing the Chinook, General Purpose Processor and FPGA Board. This 24-Layer densely populated, low Size, Weight, And Power (SWAP) board was originally designed and produced under a Navy Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program to perform Fault Detection/Fault Isolation (FDFI) and Data Acquisition functions over hundreds of microprocessors across the AN/SPY-1 Radar backplane. In addition to its original FD/FI and Data Acquisition purpose the Chinook board also lends itself to a variety of other functions such as general purpose Digital Signal Processing, Embedded system testing, Pattern generation, and Distributed timing and control. Chinook is also extremely capable of full system and individual component Anti-Tamper and Information Assurance applications.
Reconfigurable Advanced Rapid-prototyping Environment (RARE)
Brief Description: The Reconfigurable Advanced Rapid-prototyping Environment (RARE) program is an ongoing MDA Phase II SBIR program in which CEI is designing a hardware and software modular open architecture to facilitate radar and EW system design and implementation by combining high performance computing, ease of programmability, low cost, and I/O flexibility to realize receivers, stimulators, and related signal and general processing functions.
Unmanned Sense, Track, and Avoid Radar (USTAR)
Brief Description: The Unmanned Sense, Track, and Avoid Radar (USTAR) architecture is a low cost, small, light weight, low power radar initially being designed for UAV collision avoidance missions. The program is an ongoing Air Force two Phase Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) on which Colorado Engineering has taken the lead as the prime contractor, and therefore holds overall responsibility for all levels of this effort.
