Description
New space applications and technologies induce a significant increase of the on-board data processing Performance requirements while low power consumptions remains a constraint and reconfigurability becomes a must. These assigned targets for future space data processors can not only rely only on classsical rad-hard devices as mostly developped so far. To cover the needs of the different future missions categories and markets, the roadmap has to be build on two axis addressing :
- Highly robust and high performance space data processor products based on a familly of "rad-hard" or "rad tolerant" technologies with devices such as RTG4, GR740, HPDP, BRAVE, DAHLIA...;
- Data processing products built on the basis of "Commercial Off The Self" (COTS) components with adapted radiations effects mitigation techniques. Such components are selected among the growing non-space embedded systems markets using mainstream advanced micro-electronics technology. FPGAs, MPSoCs, GPUs and other new parallel and or heterogeneous processing devices can provide extreme performance thus enabling a new kind of Low-Earth-Orbit applications for the "new-space" market;
This presentation will address driving requirements and technology trends for our on-board high performance data processing roadmap with an overview of the advanced studies activities performed by the space division of Airbus Defence and Space Engineering.
