The
Missions Critical Enclosure (MCE) will be installed aboard AEGIS ships
to support successive generations of AEGIS combat system computing
requirements. Electronic subassembly equipment installed within the
enclosure will utilize Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) computing
equipment. The MCE provides a shock and vibration isolation system
which allows COTS technology to operate in severe military
environments. The water-cooled thermal management system reduces the
internal air temperatures to COTS levels. The input power systems
handle unique military power requirements which allow COTS power
supplies to be used. Simply stated, this enclosure solves the critical
problems associated with making COTS technology operates in a
mission-critical naval environment.
