Rugged 4-channel serial front panel data port recorder from Galleon for aerospace

Galleon Embedded Computing LLC has started shipping the rugged quad channel serial front panel data port (FPDP) recorders. The Galleon XSR-sFPDP-REC is specifically targeted at rugged airborne applications such as UAVs and ground vehicles and is available in a rugged enclosure measuring only 156x220x113 mm.

"The new Galleon rugged serial FPDP data recorder is designed to meet the most severe environmental conditions without compromising on functionality and performance. Its SWaPc optimized design makes it ideal for use in small unmanned aerial and ground vehicles." says Terje Melsom, CTO at Galleon Embedded Computing.

The Galleon rugged sFPDP data recorder can be supplied with quad MIL-38999 optical interfaces utilizing expanded beam technology. An air cooled version with standard duplex LC connectors is also available to support existing infrastructure. Up to 2.5TB MIL grade SLC FLASH or 4TB industrial grade MLC FLASH storage can be installed in the field swappable disk carrier. For high performance applications, the sFPDP recorder can be deployed with the 2nd generation Intel Core-i7 quad core processor family.

The unit is tested according to MIL-STD-810 and operates at temperatures from -40°C to +75°C. They can operate even in high vibration environments. Rugged air cooled and fan-less natural convection cooled versions are also offered. MIL-STD-461F certified wide input power front ends are available for either 12/24/28V DC applications (10-36V DC wide input) or 48V DC (36-72V DC wide input) operation.
