NTDS

The Swift-PAK™ for CompactPCI (cPCI) is an excellent solution for customers wishing to increase performance while reducing slot space.

Utilizing state-of-the-art Swift™ PMC technology in a CompactPCI environment, the Swift-PAK for cPCI allows users the flexibility to pack up to two NTDS (US Navy's Naval Tactical Data Systems) I/O channels in a single 6U cPCI slot or one NTDS I/O channel in a 3U cPCI slot. These channels can be any combination of NTDS parallel types A,B,C, H or NTDS serial types D or E. The Swift-PAK for cPCI interfaces includes a powerful set of standard features and support for most popular operating systems, making it ideally suited for normal NTDS I/O functions as well as passive tap applications.
