Multi-Function RF Software Defined Radio (SDR)
A fully integrated Software-Defined Radio (SDR), processor and data storage unit based on Trident’s core 3U VPX modules. Modular and customizable, its proven core architecture and radiation-tolerant components can easily integrate with third-party modules to form a reliable and complete unit-level solution ideal for modern space applications. Proven, on-orbit since 2019.
Mission Data Processor
Trident’s Mission Data Processors provide multi-faceted FPGA processing capabilities with a wide range of interface and storage options for high-performance, space computing solutions. Using a 3U VPX ecosystem, third-party modules, including GPP and GPU, can easily integrate to form a reliable and complete unit. Reprogrammable on-orbit, our processors support missions across ISR/EO/IR and mission autonomy, deploying AI/ML capabilities enabled by the AMD Xilinx Versal FPGA. Proven, on-orbit since 2019.
xDRT Development Kits and Modules
Providing lab-based development platforms on EDU hardware, the UDRT, RDRT, and VDRT Development Kits are configured with firmware/software for application development testing and HWIL demonstration. Their integration in the development process enables early risk-reduction testing and validating, rapid prototyping, and provides representative operational interfaces to ensure reliability as well as speed to market.
Payload Interface & Control
Offering a wide range of payload interface options, our versatile avionics platform unit performs mission data collection, data transfer, and command and control of payload and space vehicle subsystems. Our low SWaP-C units offer flexible architecture and reliable, radiation-tolerant modules which enable rapid payload integration to a wide range of avionics subsystems and bus standards.
Network Processing
Trident’s network processors deliver a software-defined networking solution that supports seamless router functionality. This low SWaP-C hardware unit + BSP platform allows ease of integration with both Trident or customer-provided software and firmware, making it a cost-efficient solution for proliferated applications.
Data Compression & Storage
Advanced and adaptable Data Compression & Storage Unit (DCSU) provides reliable data recording, compression and storage for processing applications in all mission areas. This compact 3U VPX system features real-time lossless compression, high-speed performance and simultaneous read/write operations combined in a fully functional unit built for harsh environments and capable of adapting to changing mission needs.
