Parvus Corp is developing modular fingerprint identification hardware for embedded computer applications in co-operation with Fujitsu Microelectronics America (FMA).
"The initial $1.4 million contract calls for Parvus to deliver prototype units later this year".
"Once prototyping and initial production units are in operation, we anticipate significant follow-on production to support the entire fleet of existing and future F/A-22 Raptor aircraft".
Lockheed looked to Parvus for the solution because its agile engineering model facilitates the rapid design and testing of the power management module.
Once completed, this subsystem will deliver redundant, fail-safe power in all situations to critical encryption/decryption equipment, and promises to save hundreds of man-hours per month in maintenance time while dramatically increasing mission-readiness.
For more than two decades Parvus has been providing wireless networking technology, vehicle monitoring and control, display and imaging systems, data recording equipment, rugged colour displays, and power conditioning systems to military and industrial OEMs.
In addition to multiple electronics subsystems onboard the F-22, Parvus has produced board-level and system-level solutions for the F-15, F-14, EA-6B, E4-B, T-38, QF-4, B1-B, 727 and many other airframes.
