The Reconfigurable Processing (RP) profile defines a high-performance processing solution suitable for constructing nodes for mission data processing, sensor interfaces, and other applications requiring high-bandwidth processing and communications. Nodes based on the RP profile work alongside other nodes within the JAS architecture. The SMAC Profile and the Communication Profile implement connectivity and data transfer from RP nodes to other nodes in the system.

A RP node may include the following elements:

  • SMAC
  • POL power converters
  • Local High Density Memory
  • Reconfigurable FPGA
  • Optional Radiation Hardened FPGA and SRAM when scrubbing is required

Since the hardware in these nodes is identical, they are candidates for M-of-N redundancy.
