CPU Tech Wins Contract to Develop SoC Based New F16 Central Air Data Computer.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2003 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) today announced that it has won the contract to develop prototype units of a new Central Air Data Computer (CADC CADC Canadian Astronomy Data Centre CADC Central Air Data Computer CADC Christian Anti-Defamation Commission CADC Charlottetown Area Development Corporation CADC Chinese Association Dance Crew CADC Carroll Area Development Corporation ) for the F-16 A/B/C/D Fighter Aircraft fighter aircraft Aircraft designed primarily to secure control of essential airspace by destroying enemy aircraft in combat. Designed for high speed and maneuverability, they are armed with weapons capable of striking other aircraft in flight. utilizing its commercial SoC (System-on-a-Chip) technology. CPU Tech will produce the internal electronics of this new computer system which will be housed in the original chassis. This new system will reduce the maintenance costs and increase the reliability of the air data computer. This effort is focused on solving the component obsolescence ob·so·les·cent adj. 1. Being in the process of passing out of use or usefulness; becoming obsolete. 2. Biology Gradually disappearing; imperfectly or only slightly developed. and engine roll-back issues of the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. Air Force's inventory of CADC computers. The new design based on SoC technology will provide the additional benefit of increased capability and reliability of the CADC. CPU Tech's SoC technology, along with pressure transducers expertise provided by Goodrich Sensors (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : GR), will give the F16 Fighter Aircraft a very Enhanced Central Air Data Computer (ECADC). "Integrating CPU Tech's SoC technology into new system designs gives the defense establishment access to both the latest commercial technology and its associated economical advantages. CPU Tech's unique approach to SoC solves the obsolescence problems that continually plague these large complex systems," stated Ed King Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
