GE understands the need for subsystem components that leverage technology
advances in the marketplace as well as the economies of scale that come along
with the use of commercial products. We also understand the need for off-the-shelf
availability and ease of development for the fastest possible platform time-to-market.
COTS technology also provides a major advantage by reducing overall program
risk. GE designs and qualifies its products toward the platform specifications using
only proven technologies. Whether for a ground-up design project or technology
insertion, our products are designed to meet all technical requirements without the
program risks that might otherwise be encountered.
GE can fully appreciate the harsh environments in which many of our products are
called upon to perform. And we know how valuable every square inch, every ounce
and every watt are in most every military and aerospace platform. For that reason,
we design ruggedized products that provide the appropriate level of technology
for the application in form factors that provide the lowest possible size, weight and
power footprint.
Most importantly, we know what is riding on every product we make working just
the way it should, year after year, without fail. GE is proud to have provided critical
technological solutions for such high-visibility military and aerospace programs
as the MQ-8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle, M1A2 Abrams tank, and M2A2
Bradley Medical Vehicle. Through our highly regarded Product Lifecycle Management
program, we design our products around the lifecycle requirements of the platform.
In some cases, we have achieved as much as two decades of component service
without failure.
The following section provides highlights of certain facets of GE Intelligent Platforms’
capabilities for the design, production, and lifecycle management of military and
aerospace computing and communications hardware and software. We look forward
to providing the COTS-based design and support expertise needed to help achieve
success in your next military and aerospace program.
