AN / UYK-43
The AN / UYK-43 was the United States Navy's standard 32-bit computer for surface and underwater units from 1984. By 2000, 1250 units had been shipped. The computer is about the size of a refrigerator and replaced the older model AN / UYK-7 , also built by Unisys . Both computers have the same instruction set. The so-called Open Systems Module (OSM), an extension of the UYK-43, allows the installation of up to six type 6U- VMEbus expansion cards , which are commercially available ( commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) ) and therefore cheaper than special military hardware are in the computer case.
The UYK-43 is used on the F122 and F123 frigates of the German Navy as the central computer in the SATIR network.
The UYK-43 is being replaced by the AN / UYQ-70 and other COTS systems. Out of service units are cannibalized to provide spare parts to units that are still in service.
The 16-bit variant is the AN / UYK-44 .
