Reliable, Real-Time Data Acquisition for Demanding Applications 

Accurate and timely data acquisition is fundamental to high-performance testing, control, and simulation environments. Whether you’re collecting sensor data from test stands, conducting fatigue analysis, or capturing high-speed inputs from complex machinery, you need a system that guarantees precise, low-latency performance. 

Concurrent Real-Time provides a comprehensive platform for mission-critical data acquisition, powered by our RedHawk Linux real-time operating system and iHawk computing platforms. These systems are designed for rapid, deterministic collection and processing of data from multiple sources delivering the reliability and throughput required in domains such as aerospace, defense, and energy. 

Our real-time data acquisition solutions are ideal for: 

  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and dynamic system testing 
  • ECU and embedded controller validation 
  • Engine, wind tunnel, and structural testing 
  • Signal analysis for radar, sonar, and communications 

By combining robust software, fully integrated I/O, and turn-key signal conditioning capabilities, Concurrent’s platforms accelerate development, reduce system complexity, and deliver actionable insights from high-resolution data streams. 

Real-Time Platforms Built for Precision and Performance 

Concurrent Real-Time offers a suite of data acquisition solutions engineered to meet the rigorous demands of time-critical environments. From high-speed signal capture to programmable conditioning and integrated test automation, our systems provide the tools necessary to acquire, process, and analyze large volumes of data with minimal latency and maximum reliability. Each solution is built on our RedHawk Linux real-time operating system and supported by fully integrated hardware and software components ensuring deterministic performance across a wide range of test, control, and monitoring applications. 

Our iHawk platforms integrate high-performance processing hardware, RedHawk Linux, and fully supported I/O solutions. Systems can be configured with: 

  • PCIe, PCI, and VME I/O cards 
  • FPGA-based acquisition cards developed by Concurrent 
  • Real-time drivers pre-integrated and tested for reliability 

These platforms are available in ruggedized, compact form factors suitable for embedded and space-constrained deployments such as ground vehicles, aircraft, and naval systems.
