details
GEN6000 technology provides 10x to 100x improvements in on-board computing power while lowering relative power consumption and cost.
The GEN6000 design strategy incorporates commercial radiation-tolerant FPGA technology and couples it with an integrated upset detection and correction architecture to provide reliable “order of magnitude” improvements in computing power over traditional radiation-hardened flight systems.
