Veritas Capital announced today the rebranding of its portfolio company, CAES Space Systems, to Frontgrade Technologies, thus also confirming the completion of its previously announced acquisition of the company from CAES.

Frontgrade has announced that its GR740 quad-core LEON4FT SPARC V8 Microprocessor has been launched onboard the Rashid Rover on December 11 and is now heading to the moon.

New device features unparalleled response times and highest level of space assurance.

SkyWater previously announced a partnership with Frontgrade to develop the RH90 process design kit (PDK), and to support qualification for the rad-hard by process platform.

Frontgrade has won multiple contracts with the European Space Agency (ESA) for the development of the GR765 System-on-Chip (SOC), the first user selectable CPU for space.

Frontgrade has signed a multi-year contract with Jena-Optronik to deliver flight grade GR740 quad-core LEON4FT SPARC V8 Microprocessor devices for its next-generation sensor products.

Frontgrade's latest fault tolerant, quad-core GR740 (LEON 4FT processor) will be used in the bus avionics and robotics interface of the Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) Spacecraft.

Frontgrade has attained the DLA Qualified Manufacturers List Class V (QML-V) rating for its Crosspoint Switch.

Frontgrade's Fault Tolerant GR740 quad core LEON 4FT processor device successfully completed DLA qualification QML-V and can continue to meet some of the most demanding processing challenges of future space missions.

Evolving mission objectives require new approaches to re-programmability, scalability and re-use that are best served through the use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs, and software-defined instruments.
