Unmanned Vehicle Mission Computer

The Unmanned Vehicle Mission Computer (UVMC) is a modular, high performance Vehicle Management System that provides maximum flexibility for easy integration into multiple platforms. It was developed with high-level mission planning capabilities and vehicle sensor integration as key feature capabilities.

The field proven UVMC is designed with an advanced parallel processing architecture that utilizes a 760 MIPS main processor for demanding autopilot control algorithms and an FPGA based processing module for Input/Output vehicle control requirements. This unique architecture utilizes a common inter-module bus structure that allows the core autopilot software to remain separate from the I/O software which offloads I/O functions from the main processor.

The UVMC includes interfaces for external GPS and IMU modules as well as RS-232/485/422, CAN, HDLC, 10Base100 Ethernet, ITCS, and JTAG. MIL-STD-1553B is also available as an optional upgrade. It also includes a removable Compact Flash module to support high speed data recording requirements.

The UVMC has been qualified per MIL-STD-461E (EMI), MIL-STD-810G (Environmental), MIL-HDBK-781A (Reliability) making it one of the most capable devices in the industry.
