System Integration
Our Seasoned Team Minimizes Risk and Accelerates Deployment
With decades of program experience designing and developing embedded applications for deployment in software and FPGA domains, Galleon Embedded Computing works with customers to define a robust system solution that best meets the program requirements. Galleon has supported hundreds of defense programs, deploying rugged C5ISR systems worldwide with OpenVPX and SOSA designs.
Comprehensive VPX Integration Excellence
System integration is more than simply putting computer boards into a chassis. Software drivers, interfaces, power and thermal management plus required ruggedization are major challenges. Our engineers have deep, extensive experience in designing and integrating system level solutions to overcome these complexities.
The Galleon Integration Approach
At the beginning of each project, systems architects build a close working relationship with customers to understand the application and requirements. In the next step, they define the optimal system architecture together, evaluating performance, I/O, power, thermal and ruggedization requirements.
Verifying the system can be almost as complex as developing it. Galleon has years of expertise in conceiving effective functional test systems for fully automated stimulation and verification of a product — both in qualification and for production testing.
Advanced Defense System Capabilities
Galleon’s flagship video processing system delivers exceptional performance with:
- DisplayPort 1.3 (32.4 Gbps)
- 3G-SDI multiple interfaces
- 10G Ethernet (optical and copper)
- 48 interfaces on 13 connectors
- Compact form factor with 500W power supply
Currently deployed in mission-critical defense applications across land-based platforms including infantry fighting vehicles.
