`
`SRC COMPUTERS CHOSEN BY LOCKHEED MARTIN FOR U.S. ARMY PROGRAM
`
`SRC to Provide both Ground and Airborne Computing Systems for TRACER
`
`
`
`COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – August 15, 2007 – SRC Computers, Inc., a recognized leader in general purpose
`reconfigurable computing, has announced that it has been chosen by Lockheed Martin to provide both ground and airborne
`processing solutions for the U.S. Army’s Tactical Reconnaissance and Counter-Concealment Enabled Radar (TRACER)
`program. The $40 million TRACER contract was awarded to Lockheed Martin by the Army in May of this year and incorporates
`low frequency synthetic aperture radar systems into Predator class unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
`
`The TRACER program addresses the Army’s critical need to identify hidden targets, enemy equipment and facilities. The
`system’s design is predicated on Lockheed Martin’s proven foliage penetration (FOPEN) technology, which was developed
`specifically to detect vehicles, buildings, and large metallic objects in broad areas of dense foliage, forested areas and wooded
`terrain. These dual-band synthetic aperture radars can provide images to ground units in all-weather, day or night conditions and
`incorporate a data link that allows processed results to be downlinked to ground stations immediately.
`
`”SRC is very excited to be working with Lockheed Martin on this program,” said Jon Huppenthal, President and CEO of SRC
`Computers. “SRC’s unique IMPLICIT+EXPLICIT Architecture provides TRACER with compute-intensive reconfigurable
`processing in a compact form-factor that reduces size, weight and power consumption, all of which are critical for UAVs.”
`
`SRC's ground solution consists of an air-cooled SRC-6 system with dual microprocessors, two Series E MAP processors, Hi-Bar
`crossbar switch, and multiple Common Memory banks providing 32 Gbytes of storage. Programming will be accomplished using
`SRC’s Carte high-level language development environment.
`
`The airborne Signal Data Processor (SDP) is comprised of a spray-cooled multi-MAP SRC-6 that weighs 80 pounds, consumes
`less than 900 watts of power and measures 18”D x 17”W x 14”H. The SDP is capable of operation to at least 25,000 feet in an
`unpressurized environment and contains one dual microprocessor, four Series E MAPs and 80 Gbytes of memory in five banks
`connected by a Hi-Bar crossbar switch. The spray cooling technology is being provided by SprayCool of Liberty Lake,
`Washington, an SRC subcontractor. SRC’s airborne solutions are expected to be delivered in 2008.
