XDRT Development Kits and Modules

Trident xDRT Development Kits are lab-based development platforms, preloaded with Trident FW/SW (source files included), for application development, testing, and HWIL demonstrations on Trident Hardware. Compatible with Tridents 3U VPX modules, the kits provide operational and developmental interfaces to flight-like hardware with “lab-friendly” interfaces. These kits are a low-cost, rapidly available platform for new and existing customers. Development Kits are an integral part of Trident’s Rapid Response methodology which enable our customers success on fast-paced, cost constrained, modern space programs.

Space Qualified Digital RF Transceiver (SQDRT)

Mission Ready Multi-Function RF and On-Board Processing

A high, performance, high-reliability 3U VPX RF processor based on the Xilinx Virtex-5QV FPGA with a high-speed ADC/DAC/PLL Mezzanine Card. Multiple build options to support orbital and interplanetary missions including Synthetic Aperture Radar, Communications, Signal Collection/Analysis, On-Board Processing and more. On-orbit since 2019.

Re-programmable Multi-Function RF

Trident’s SQDRT is based on our powerful, flexible multifunction RF and processing architecture, providing programmability over all key RF/Processing features in a very small size, weight, and power footprint. A mission enabling design, the SQDRT can be incorporated at the module level or used as part of Trident’s MFREU Products.

Mission Ready

TRL9 with multiple RF modalities, a mission-ready solution using radiation-hardened parts, redundancy, a robust mechanical design and multiple build options to provide a low C-SWaP, high performance module. Reference designs and custom FW development available as well as custom integration for a wide range of missions.
