Key Benefits

Architected for Versatility

NAI’s Configurable Open System Architecture™ (COSA®) offers a choice of over 70 smart I/O, communications, Ethernet switch and SBC options. Preexisting, fully-tested functions can be combined in an unlimited number of ways to quickly and easily meet system requirements. Individually dedicated I/O and communications processors allow mission computers to manage, monitor and control via single or dual Ethernet. Alternately, select one of NAI’s 3U SBC boards.

All products are designed to operate under extreme temperature, shock, vibration and EMI environments. EMI filters and gaskets meet or exceed MIL-STD-461F* and MIL-STD-810G requirements.

Background Built-In-Test (BIT)

BIT continuously monitors the status of all I/O during normal operations and is totally transparent to the user. SBC resources are not consumed while executing BIT routines. This simplifies maintenance, assures operational readiness, reduces life-cycle costs and— keeps your systems mission ready.

One-Source Efficiencies

Eliminate man-months of integration with a configured, field-proven system from NAI. Specification to deployment is a seamless experience as all design, state-of-the-art manufacturing, assembly and test are performed— by one trusted source. All facilities are located in the U.S. and optimized for high-mix/low volume production runs and extended lifecycle support.

Product Lifecycle Management

From design-in to production, and beyond, NAI’s product lifecycle management strategy ensures the long-term availability of COTS products through technology refresh, configuration management and obsolescence component purchase and storage.
