Xiphos Systems Corporation
Development of a High-Qualification, Fully Characterized, High-Performance Processing Platform for Demanding Constellation Missions — Xiphos Systems Corporation will develop and qualify the Q7AE, a new addition to its family of high-performance and low size, weight, and power (SWaP) COTS-based processors. The Q7AE (“Advanced Edition”) will be a key element of a new generation of satellites that enable low-cost space science, earth observation, space weather, synthetic aperture radar, IoT and communications missions for commercial, government, and space agency customers. This product is targeted at applications where strict adherence to radiation upset rate and availability targets must be met for demanding missions. The Q7AE will be distinguished as a processor optimized to provide high reliability and performance in harsh radiation environments. As a ready-made, flexible solution, this product will the reduce cost, risk and development time of demanding, long-duration, and high-LEO missions.
