SATA Storage Solutions for Aerospace Security Applications

Reliable. Secure. FPGA-Driven.

In aerospace and defense sectors, system designers face an ever-growing demand for robust data storage that balances longevity, low power, and high security—especially in harsh environments.

At Design Gateway, we deliver cutting-edge SATA Storage Solutions powered by FPGA, purpose-built for mission-critical aerospace security applications such as satellite payload recorders, UAV black boxes, and surveillance edge systems.


🚀 Why SATA + FPGA is the Ideal Match for Aerospace

Radiation-tolerant, aerospace-grade FPGA platforms
Deterministic performance without a CPU
Minimal power usage, perfect for spaceborne and field systems
Multi-port SATA scalability or upgrade path to NVMe
Direct-to-SSD data logging, no OS required

With Design Gateway’s SATA-IP Core allows directly data streams to SSDs with less latency—perfect for telemetry capture, onboard recordings, and secure data transport in defense and aerospace electronics.


🔐 Protect Data with AES-XTS-STG IP: Real-Time Encryption

For aerospace-grade security, our AES256-XTS-STG IP Core ensures real-time encryption that meets NIST SP800-38E standards:

  • 🔒 35.2 Gbps throughput – handles multiple encrypted SATA SSDs (RAID supported)
  • 🔒 IV auto-increment, Tweak value control, and Key management
  • 🔒 Designed for black box systems, surveillance, and telemetry security

Together with our SATA IP, this combo delivers unmatched performance + protection.
