Smart Data Management System (SmartDMS)

GE's configurable controls and interface systems are required for today's modular and simplified vehicle system architectures. This product family is comprised of flexible remote interfacing products tailored to meet a range of applications - from distributed Input/Output (I/O) management to actuation control. Remote Interface Units (RIUs) provide a family of low cost, line replaceable items or sub-modules which are designed to be installed in remote locations, away from the main aircraft processing resource but near air-vehicle subsystem(s).

GE Aerospace provides innovative, navigational-grade Inertial Reference Units (IRU) that can be utilized for platform navigation, system stabilization, and pointing applications. Our systems are based on a proprietary inertial gyroscope technology that reduces size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) when compared to units with similar performance. GE's IRUs are utilized on land, maritime, and airborne applications with more than 5,300 units fielded worldwide. This product family is scalable to the customer's specific needs. Options include standard or enhanced microprocessors and embedded military Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS or embedded commercial GPS receivers.
