United Electronic Industries (UEI) has unveiled a suite of innovative cybersecurity solutions tailored for its data acquisition, testing, and control hardware.
These solutions are meticulously crafted to satisfy the rigorous security standards required in aerospace and defense sectors, notably for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The enhancements provide exceptional data safeguarding, secure boot processes, secure key generation and storage, FIPS 140.2 encryption,integration of Trusted Platform Modules (TPM),and additional features. Moreover, these cybersecurity measures assist users in achieving compliance with NIST 800-213 standards.
UEI has developed a comprehensive three-tier cybersecurity framework aimed at empowering aerospace and defense entities with enhanced data protection and a robust defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. Each UEI system chassis is equipped with a CPU and can accommodate a variety of I/O boards tailored to specific applications. The cybersecurity functionalities are accessible on both SoloX/ARM and ZYNQ UltraScale+ CPU configurations. After selecting the appropriate processor, users can subscribe to a programmer toolkit that provides essential software tools for implementing administrative controls, generating passwords, establishing logging mechanisms, and formulating auditing policies, among other capabilities.
The final phase involves users deploying their applications onto UEI hardware using the user-friendly GUI-based UEI-SAT Security Automation Tool. This tool simplifies the setup of the boot sequence and hardware configuration, ensuring users can confidently implement cybersecurity measures. These all-encompassing tools eliminate the complexities associated with NIST-level cybersecurity implementation and reduce the necessity for specialized programming knowledge.
By providing these state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions, UEI reaffirms its dedication to delivering advanced technological solutions that cater to the specific needs of the aerospace and defense sectors. With improved data security, organizations can operate with assurance, knowing that their critical systems and sensitive data are securely protected.
UEI boasts an extensive selection of over 90 I/O boards, which include analog input (with resolutions up to 24-bit), analog output, digital I/O, avionics (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429/453/708/664), serial and CAN communications, counter/timer functionalities, quadrature encoder input, and more, suitable for a diverse range of applications. Common uses encompass hardware-in-the-loop testing, avionics simulation, vehicle control systems (both manned and unmanned), health usage and monitoring systems (HUMS), and various testing setups. All PowerDNA products are supported by UEI’s groundbreaking 10-year availability guarantee and a standard 3-year hardware warranty,with options to extend up to 10 years to address obsolescence challenges.
