Core Capabilities Driving Mission Success

Advanced Security

From High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) to Intrusion Detection Systems with deep packet inspection, AMD offers the desired network interface support, high-performance silicon, and IP to secure networks and processing devices from physical silicon through to the application layer, providing anti-tamper (AT), information assurance (IA), and approved post-quantum cryptography (PQC) features.            

Low-SWaP Solutions

By integrating an efficient multi-core processing system (PS) directly with reconfigurable FPGA fabric into a monolithic SoC, AMD devices eliminate latent, power-hungry interfaces used to move data between these two subsystems. SoCs integrating RF data converters further reduce size and interface power for the most constrained environments.

Heterogeneity Driving Efficient Compute for Processing

AMD Versal™ SoCs combine the parallel compute density of software-programmable AI Engines with the flexibility of programmable logic. The Versal RF Series also has specialized signal processing blocks for FFTs, filters, and error correction decoding. These innovations make AMD Versal devices the ideal platform for efficient, reprogrammable processing.

Advancing Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations for A&D

Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) are becoming increasingly more challenging as the spectrum becomes more congested and contested. The Versal RF Series helps to address capabilities for EMSO in a highly optimized monolithic SWaP-efficient device. With 32 GSPS data converters supporting up to Ku Band and new hard IP blocks, the Versal RF Series integrates the capabilities of an AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC and the high-DSP count of the Versal Premium Series into a single Versal RF Series device.
