according to China's national defense science and technology information network, U.S. military officials said they plan to buy outdated xilinx Virtex series II - the field programmable gate array (FPGA), used for surveillance, reconnaissance and fire control system of infrared sensor data processing.

The defense logistics agency (DLA), officials said they plan to buy 700 to 2800 XC2V2000Virtex - type II FPGA, this device in advanced video processor (AVP) circuit card components (CCA) is very important. DLA, officials said they plan to provide manufacturers of AVP Raytheon FPGA to develop AVPCCA, the Watson sensor device is instead of the second generation of forward-looking infrared (FLer) B - discoverfit main device. Second generation FLerB - discoverfit has several components, including AVPCCA, infrared sensors have been used in multiple systems, such as advanced long-distance surveillance monitoring system (block), M1A3Alowtemortalsdiscolourmentms tanks firing thermal imaging system, M1A2Alowtemortalsdiscolourmentms independent thermal imager, and M3A3 DiGaoXing Bradley acquisition system.

DLA, officials said they have a sense of urgency, because xilinx executives said once they will stop production XC2V2000VirtecardinalFPGA this month's order. In November 2012, xilinx had issued a memo, points out that the company will stop receiving purchase order, and stop production Xicarveurercardinalrtex - II series FPGA chip, the chip AVPCCA is essential for the design.
