On-Board Processor and Storage
Highly Integrated
The MFREU combines Trident’s xDRT modules with support modules for a complete unit-level solution. Based on our powerful, flexible multifunction processing architecture, programmability over all key RF/Processing features is available in a very small size, weight, and power footprint. SpaceVPX compatibility and customization provides modularity, scalability and simplifies integration into space payloads.
Balanced Reliability
TRL9 on several LEO missions, a proven Radiation Effects Mitigated architecture, coupled with radiation-tolerant components, redundancy and a robust mechanical design, provide a low C-SWaP, high reliability platform for operation in harsh orbital and interplanetary environments.
