Transputer Systems

Spiral Technology continues to provided advanced solutions to today's aeronautical research programs. Spiral Technology's ARTS is an airborne implementation of parallel processing (transputer) technology and was:

• Designed to provide advanced onboard computational capabilities for NASA Systems Research Aircraft (F-18 first application)
• Built to meet NASA flight qualification requirements (vibration, temperature, pressure)
• Planned and conducted all environmental tests to NASA standards for demonstration of flight qualification capability
• Designed and implemented from board level components
• Designed to provide flexible input/ output for flight research environment (1553, D/D, A/D, VME)
