Intelligent Platforms
We have been delivering state-of-the-art military computing
solutions for over 40 years, so its not surprising that the industry’s
best prime contractors choose GE Intelligent Platforms products
in many of their highest profile programs.
If you are developing a sonar applica-
tion, you can turn to us with complete
assurance that we know sonar. Our repu-
tation for design excellence has made us
the preferred choice for naval fleets across
the globe. Our solutions are deployed on
over 400 vessels—including the US Navy’s
Virginia class submarine—and deployed in
such major programs as SQQ-89 and the
ARCI modernization effort.
In addition to our invaluable experience in
sonar, our field-proven hardware offerings
reach all the way from front-end data
acquisition, to back-end signal processing.
Our software toolset, known as AXIS
(Advanced Multiprocessor Integrated
Software), enables rapid, efficient devel-
opment, debugging and deployment of
sophisticated, high performance signal
processing applications. It is this expertise,
hardware, software and support that set
GE Intelligent Platforms apart.

daqNet
daqNet is an integrated, high-speed
acoustic 1U server for network-centric
environments, including sonar. It offers
192 analog or 240 digital channels in an
integrated data acquisition and control
node solution.
As a leader in COTS embedded computing for military
and defense applications, our product line includes a
full range of VMEbus, VPX and CompactPCI platforms
available in any of five ruggedization levels.
GE Intelligent Platforms
is your Premiere Choice.
Our product line is outstanding in its
breadth, from single board computers
using both PowerPC
®
and Intel
®
proces-
sors, to powerful multiprocessor DSP
boards featuring both FPGA and general
purpose processing technologies. We offer
sophisticated communications switches
and a broad array of data acquisition, sen-
sor processing and digital recording and
playback solutions.
GE Intelligent Platforms can truly offer
‘sensor to shootercapabilities because we
have the expertise to integrate our own
product line with third party products in
order to create complete functional sub-
systems. We are able to provide technical
assistance with subsystem integration, and
support you at every stage of the develop-
ment process.
Of equal importance, GE Intelligent Plat-
forms is a leader in the long term support
of the multi-year deployments that are
typical of military programs. Configuration
control and Program Lifecycle Mainte-
nance ensure that you are protected to
the maximum extent possible from the
technology changes that can occur during
the extended lifetime of a program.
Front-End
Data Acquisition.
For sonar applications, the two main considerations are the
signal-to-noise ratio and the phase matching of the analog-
to-digital conversion process.
SONAR SOLUTIONS
Maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio is
increasingly important to sonar designers
because of new threats with low signature
responses such as the latest diesel genera-
tors. Once a signal is successfully received,
it is impossible to locate the source without
accurate phase information.
The skill in designing for signal-to-noise
ratio is twofold: to minimize the noise and
to maximize the signal itself. Minimizing
noise will typically mean ensuring that the
ADC silicon is separated from the digital
components on the board. It should have
its own filtered power supply, and other
components should be placed on the
board so that interference is minimized.
Fully differential circuits should be used
wherever possible.
Maximizing signal quality will typically
require signal conditioning—ideally, on
the data acquisition board itself. Signal
conditioning can include functions such as
signal amplification, attenuation, filtering
and electrical isolation.
Detecting a signal may be important, but
it is of little use unless the location can
be determined. Careful phase matching
across all channels on a circuit card, and
all channels across multiple synchronized
circuit cards, has been our design goal since
day one. Not only for the start of acquisi-
tion, but also ensuring that phase infor-
mation is maintained during continuous
operation. Our products offer three levels of
redundant synchronization designed solely
to maintain this important information.

GE Intelligent Platforms offers a leading
combination of hardware and software
designed not only to deliver state-of-the-
art performance as rapidly as possible,
but to support the deployment of that
performance. Our AXIS application devel-
opment toolset is specifically designed to
simplify the development of complex signal
processing applications requiring multipro-
cessor PowerPC
®
systems.
We also offer the specialized types of
hardware required for these demanding
applications. For example, the G4DSP-XD3
features four PowerPC MPC7448 compute
nodes, operating at 1 GHz and is based
around the AccelerX loosely-coupled PCI-X
architecture to allow ultra fast node-
to-node communications. Multiboard
scalability is greatly enhanced by the use
of two StarFabric ports. GE’s StarSwitch
can then be used to interconnect limitless
G4DSP-XD3s within the VME environment.
For applications requiring the raw process-
ing capability and the flexibility of FPGA
technology, we offer the V4DSP with dual
Xilinx
®
Virtex
®
-4 FX FPGA processors,
together with a PowerPC MPC7448 general
purpose processing node. The V4DSP offers
a choice of mezzanine support-a 64-bit/66
MHz PMC site, or an XMC site. For scalability,
V4DSP provides two Star Fabric ports which
can be used to scale large multiboard
systems. Also provided are two MultiGiga-
bit Transceiver (MGT) lanes for alternative
high-speed serial I/O up to 2.5 GHz.
