For new designs they recommend the company's 64C2 or 64C3 products. NAI officials point out that the 64SD1 is a mature product with limited support. The board provides wrap-around self-test, optional programmable reference supply, and is available for military or commercial applications. The NAI 64SD1 is a VME synchro/resolver measurement board that provides 16 synchro-to-digital converter channels, with accurate velocity outputs, that can be used in single-speed or two-speed modes. Navy officials say they plan to buy the boards from NAI sole-source because the company's 64SD1 is the only part that meets the form, fit, and function requirements and that works with existing software. No dollar value for the upcoming order was announced. The system is installed in Ticonderoga-class cruisers, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, San Antonio-class amphibious transport docks, and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.įriday's announcement says the Navy needs nine of NAI's 64SD1 VME-6U synchro/resolver-to-digital measurement motherboards for this purchase. The IFF data from one AN/UPX-24(V) can be synchronized with as many as four individual radars, and provides the operator with synthetic IFF symbology for target recognition and tracking.

The AN/UPX-24(V) is the core identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) processor of the AN/UPX-29(V) shipboard interrogator system. The AN/UPX-24(V) interrogator set is manufactured by Northrop Grumman Corp. In July 2013, however, Naval Air Systems Command announced their intention to buy the NAI 64SD1 for the AN/UPX-29(V) Interrogator System Mode 5 shipboard identification-friend-or-foe (IFF) system aboard Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. The specific application for the NAI 64SD1 was not specified in the Navy announcement. A resolver-to-digital or synchro-to-digital converter converts these signals to a digital output corresponding to the shaft angle and velocity. Resolvers and synchros are transducers that convert the angular position and velocity of a rotating shaft to an electrical signal. Officials of Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., announced their intention Friday to award a sole-source contract to NAI for the company's 64SD1 VME-6U synchro/resolver-to-digital measurement motherboard. They found their solution from North Atlantic Industries (NAI) in Bohemia, N.Y. Navy military aviation experts needed a 6U VMEsynchro/resolver-to-digital measurement motherboard to track rotating electronics subsystems.
