Universal Reconfigurable Translation Module (URTM)

Translates communication protocols using a compact reconfigurable programmable translation module (RPTM) and the appropriate physical interface modules (PIMs). Just plug in any two PIM modules into the RPTM and the appropriate translation protocols are invoked. Interfaces legacy flight equipment (MIL-STD-1553) to new bus protocols (SpaceWire, Time-Triggered Ethernet, etc.)

Small volume, low power, and rugged
Designed for space flight or ground support equipment
Conductiviley cooled
EMI enhanced packaging
High tolerance to vibration and the environment
Outgassing compliance
3-point mount
