systems
 Incorporate Link 16 Situational Awareness into the C-130J
 Provide Platform for Growth
 Centralized, Scalable, High Performance Processing
 Open System Architecture
 SKPP RTOS
 ARINC 653 Partitioning
 OpenGL ES-SC 1.0
 Growth Provisions without Redesign of Chassis or Backplane:
 Add Processing, Graphics, and Video I/O
 Growth:
 Host Additional Applications
 Support C-130J transition from Federated to Integrated Architecture
SMDP System Description
 SMDP EU (with Lockheed Supplied Software)
 Video
 Two channels of TAXI Video Input from Mission Computers (MC)
 Link 16 data from MIDS LVT via Secure 1553
 Render Link 16 data graphically
 Overlay Link 16 graphics onto MC TAXI video
 Output TAXI to Video Switches
 Control and Status
 MC via Unsecure 1553
 User Interface
 Stow-able keyboard (Mobile Display System) via Secure Ethernet
 Video Switches (2):
 Selects TAXI video source for display on each CMDU:
