Thirty-thousand feet up is no place for a systems failure.
Because of that, leading contractors for decades have turned
to GE Intelligent Platforms for mission-critical computing and
communications systems components. Our rugged systems
are up to the task under any type of harsh environment,
whether it be high altitude, extreme hot or cold, dust, humidity,
vibration or shock.
GE provides rugged technology applications for every type of
aerospace platform. We developed the world’s first all-digital
radar warning receiver (RWR), the ALR-69A(V). This tactical RWR
facilitates suppression of enemy air defenses, cross-platform
integration, and enhanced spectral and spatial coverage
that provides high-sensitivity detection in dense signal
environments.
Our On-Board Reasoner extends the capabilities of an aircraft’s
existing integrated aircraft diagnostic systems. The system
includes an on-board data recorder and a ground-based
reasoner that performs data analysis. The On-Board Reasoner
system improves maintenance capabilities by defining root
airborne systems
causes, identifying false alarms, and prioritizing maintenance
scheduling. Much of the analysis can be conducted in real
time so that flight crews can be advised when an emergency
situation exists and when they are experiencing a false alarm.
Another aerospace offering from GE is Automatic Image
Matching (AIM) that aligns images taken at different times and
positions to aid navigation and target detection.
