Adaptive Engineering Group Overview

The Adaptive Engineering Group

ProSync's Adaptive Engineering Group possesses a strong legacy in the field of complex high-performance data and signal processing.  With decades of combined experience in satellite and communications systems, our products are currently in place at a number of major aerospace and civil space organizations worldwide.  Many of our deployments support large government programs, including the International Space Station and NASA's Earth Observing System.  This heritage of developing state-of-the-art data acquisition, processing, and distribution systems uniquely  qualifies us to provide effective, proven solutions quickly and inexpensively.

Why Adaptive Engineering?

Modern information systems require distributed processing elements equivalent to past supercomputers. Such processing elements must act on large volumes of data from many streams at very high data rates. Software can perform these activities, but struggles to handle the sheer volume of data, the various types of data, and the individual forms of processing required. Hardware systems and components can meet the performance and functionality needed, but would be both expensive and inflexible to new or different functional requirements. Adaptive Engineering provides the functionality and convenience of software, with the performance of hardware.  

What Is Adaptive Engineering?

Adaptive Engineering is the result of 20 years of evolving technology based on a semiconductor device known as a Field Programmable Gate Array, or FPGA.  These devices allow the engineer to redesign any and all functions of a system nearly instantaneously in order to meet mission requirements now and in the future.  Adaptive Engineering is:

• Based on processing with FPGAs, including specialized logic, algorithms, and CPUs
• Used to create platforms with extreme performance and broad flexibility
• Ideal for communications equipment, including protocol processors, protocol-agile gateways, software defined radios, smart multiplexers, and digital signal processors
• Superior for high-performance computing, including image and video processors, transaction processors, algorithm acceleration, and machine vision
