DSPs Help Rule the Waves

Terry Costlow, Contributing Editor -- Design News, June 4, 2007

Raytheon, the main mission systems equipment integrator for the U.S. Navy's DDG 1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer program, is using Texas Instruments' TMS320C6455 digital signal processors in that ship's sonar signal sub-system. The Acoustic Transmit Receive Integration Module sonar systems consist of multiple boards, each processing four channels of sonar. The system is part of the Total Ship Computing Environment, which uses Ethernet, Serial RapidIO and other commercial technologies. The DDG 1000 Zumwalt is the first of a class of multi-mission destroyers being developed for land attack and naval support. It will provide forward presence and deterrence operating as part of joint and combined expeditionary forces in ground campaigns and littoral dominance.
