Invocon Flight Computer (IFC)

Invocon’s Remote Power Control (RPC) Remote Ground Support Equipment (RGSE) provides for power control and monitoring for Avionics or Flight Termination System (FTS) payloads. This includes system monitoring, power switching (e.g., internal/external, on/off), and battery maintenance as well as RS422 communications all through the vehicle’s UMBI(s). The rack is controlled remotely via direct Ethernet connection or through a fiber optic converter for extended range.

Key Features

  • High-Performance Multi-Core Processing

    Quad-core Cortex-A53 application processor and dual-core Cortex-R5F real-time processor provide segregated compute resources for mission-critical and supervisory tasks.

  • User-Programmable Programmable Logic

    Factory-configured PL fabric with 256K logic cells, 1248 DSP slices, and video codec — fully accessible for customer-defined logic functions.

  • Broad OS Support

    Runs bare metal, FreeRTOS, Linux, RTEMS, and VxWorks, accommodating a wide range of flight software architectures.

  • Rugged MIL-Grade Packaging

    Aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure with 38999 connectors and dedicated EMI-filtered power connector for demanding launch environments.

  • Configurable I/O for Launch Vehicle Subsystems

    Two 66-contact I/O connectors support IMU/INS, GPS/GNSS, TVC, RCS, engine control, and telemetry interfaces in a single unit.

  • Flexible Storage Architecture

    64 MB QSPI Flash for boot and configuration, plus 16 GB eMMC for OS, customer files, and data recordings.

Typical Applications

  • Engine and Propulsion Control

    Manages engine ignition sequencing, throttle control, and propulsion system monitoring.

  • Telemetry Management

    Formats, encodes, and routes vehicle health and mission data to downlink systems.

  • Payload Processing

    Programmable logic and multi-core architecture support custom payload data processing requirements.
