BAE Systems and CPU Tech to Develop Virtual Bradley Combat Systems Vehicle.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. and CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. Technology, Inc.[R] (CPU Tech) announced today that they have been funded by the U.S. Army TACOM TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (US Army) TACOM Tactical Communications TACOM Tactical Command TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armament Command TACOM Theater Army Command TACOM Tactical Army Command TACOM Tactical Army COM Life Cycle Management Command for a collaborative effort to begin the development of a SystemLab[TM] based virtual model of BAE Systems' Bradley Combat Systems vehicle. The virtual model will run on CPU Tech's new SystemLab Platform Simulator and execute actual Bradley software at real time speeds. When completed, the virtual model will enable engineering teams networked together to have complete visibility inside the electronics of the entire vehicle during actual real time software execution. "BAE Systems, as the Bradley systems integrator, is committed to this innovative approach to the management of vehicle electronics," said Andy Hove Hove (hōv), city (1991 pop. 65,587), East Sussex, SE England. It is a modern residential seaside resort. , vice president, Bradley Combat Systems for BAE Systems. "Completion of this new virtual vehicle is a technology breakthrough that will for the first time enable the Army and BAE Systems to systematically control and manage obsolescence ob·so·les·cent adj. 1.

"BAE Systems is the first corporation in the world to adopt high fidelity real time virtual system development on a major platform. CPU Tech fully supports BAE Systems' objective to migrate Bradley computing and electronics into the era of virtual system development and life cycle management," said Brad Dyer, CPU Technology vice president and program director.
