In 2007, while working at the University of Central Florida Institute for Simulation and Training, I designed a semi-rugged embedded computer as a surrogate of a future embedded training module under the Embedded Mission Rehearsal project or eMR. I used COTS components, a military grade enclosure from and old project, and a custom internal frame to isolate the electronics from the external enclosure.

Later in 2009 I build the eMR testbed by re-purposing the ICV testbed frame and adding several simulation components from an M1A2. The testbed which I originally modeled in AutoCAD, was re-modeled in Autodesk Inventor along with all the new components as 3D solid parts and assemblies. This allows us to better re-use the models of our existing equipment for future efforts.
