Abstract

There is an increasing need for signal processors functional across a broad range of problems, from radar systems to E-O and ESM applications. To meet this challenge, a signal processing system capable of efficiently meeting the processing requirements over a broad range of avionics sensor systems has been developed. The CDC parallel modular signal processor (PMSP) is a complete MIL/E-5400-qualified digital signal processing system capable of computation rates greater than 600 MOPS (million operations per second). The signal processing element of the PMSP is the Micro-AFP. It is an all-VLSI processor capable of executing multiple simultaneous operations. Up to five Micro-AFPs and 12 MB of main store memory (MSM), along with associated control and I/O functions, are contained in the PMSP´s standard ATR enclosure
