Enabling State-of-the-Art Remote Sensing and In-situ Investigations Through Advanced Payload Processing Solutions
As an Institution with extensive space instrumentation and mission payload development experience, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) understands the unique requirements of payload management. Today’s advanced payloads represent increasing challenges in power conditioning and distribution, data processing, fault isolation and management, and multi-level security. Modern payload systems span the full spectrum from ultra-low power, low noise systems for precision scientific measurements to extremely sophisticated systems with high data rates and large data volumes consistent with advanced remote sensing and data acquisition payloads.
SwRI payload processing solutions include complete turnkey systems for controlling precision optical, electrostatic, time of flight and RF payloads.
