NetAcquire Embedded Telemetry Systems bring the capabilities of the NetAcquire platform to size-, weight-, and power-constrained environments. Built using rugged embedded computing platforms and integrated telemetry interfaces, these systems deliver acquisition, processing, recording, networking, and telemetry distribution capabilities in compact deployable configurations.

Unlike traditional fixed-site telemetry systems, NetAcquire embedded solutions are designed to operate directly on aircraft, vehicles, mobile platforms, ground assets, and remote installations while maintaining compatibility with the broader NetAcquire ecosystem.

These systems support the same software environment used throughout the NetAcquire product family, enabling common workflows, tools, configuration methods, and mission applications across rack-mounted, virtualized, cloud, and embedded deployments.

Telemetry Wherever the Mission Operates

Modern telemetry missions increasingly require processing to occur closer to the source of the data. Embedded NetAcquire systems allow acquisition, recording, cryptographic operations, source selection, decommutation, networking, and custom processing to be deployed directly on mission platforms rather than exclusively at fixed ground facilities.

This approach reduces infrastructure requirements, minimizes latency, and supports distributed telemetry architectures where telemetry processing occurs wherever mission needs dictate.

Common Architecture Across Every Deployment

Many embedded telemetry products are designed for a single purpose or deployment environment.

NetAcquire embedded systems leverage the same architecture, processing capabilities, networking functions, and operational tools used throughout the broader NetAcquire product family. Applications developed for laboratory, ground station, virtual, or cloud deployments can be adapted to embedded environments while preserving common operational concepts and workflows.

This simplifies development, integration, training, and long-term lifecycle support.
