Solutions to Unique Challenges

Memory and storage devices for defense systems require high reliability and long service life to capably handle the demands of mission-critical tasks over extended periods of time.

These devices typically operate in hostile environments and are subjected to severe physical, thermal, and electro-mechanical stresses. They are also usually exposed to power challenges, especially when deployed in areas where power is unstable.

System designs are highly diverse and proprietary without commercially high volume, requiring diverse form factors per individual case. 

ATP Electronics provides a wide range of rugged, wide-temp solutions without a high minimum order quantity (MOQ), with outstanding longevity and flexible customization to comply with exacting standards.

The Aerospace segment often stands shoulder to shoulder with Defense and share many of the same challenges, including extreme temperatures, shock/vibration, and harsh environments.

Whether in the air, in space, or in ground control, memory and storage devices are exposed to diverse hazards that can corrupt data, cause errors, and even compromise crew and passenger safety.

ATP Electronics specializes in optimizing memory and storage devices for the aerospace segment. ATP offers a comprehensive portfolio of ruggedized, robust, and high endurance solutions, without a high minimum order quantity (MOQ). These solutions include industrial grade, customizable, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) modules that are meticulously tested to meet specific application requirements.

Thicker Gold Finger

30µ”-thick gold plating of the DRAM contact optimizes signal transmission quality between the connector and DRAM modules.

Hardware-Based In-Flight-Data Power Loss Protection
#ATP EXCLUSIVE
This hardware-based power failure protection prevents data loss during a power loss event by ensuring that the last read/write/erase command is completed and data is stored safely in non-volatile flash memory. Select NVMe modules and SATA SSDs feature a new microcontroller unit (MCU)-based design that allows the PLP array to perform intelligently in various temperatures, power glitches and charge states to protect both device and data.

Firmware-Based Data-At-Rest Power Loss Protection
The firmware-based power failure protection effectively protects data written to the device prior to power loss. After the host receives a signal from the device that the WRITE operation has been successfully completed, newly written as well as previously written data are protected even if a sudden power loss occurs.
SED (AES 256-bit Encryption, TCG Opal 2.0)
TCG Opal Secirity Subsystem Class (SSC) 2.0 is a set of specifications for self-encrypting drives that present a hierarchy of security management standards to secure data from theft and tampering. Security features include hardware-based data encryption, pre-boot authentication (PBA) and AES-128/256 data encryption to protect the confidentiality of data at rest.
Software Secure Erase
Software Secure Erase wipes out all user data, overwrites all locations, and prevents the retrieval or recovery of erased data. This feature is activated using an ATA/NVM command to trigger a Fast Erase or Fast Erase + Purge (overwrite) for all flash physical blocks containing user data, such as user data, spare, wear leveling, and bad blocks, as well as all flash blocks containing metadata. Overwriting makes data unrecoverable by replacing all data (user data as well as areas that are not accessible to the user) with patterns or non-sensitive data.
SecurEncrypt

AES-256 encryption for the User Data area.
