COTS Rugged Systems

COTS Rugged Systems provide highly flexible computing platforms suited for
Mission Applications and high end Graphics / Display Systems.

With uniquely flexible I/O, predictable physical characteristics and modularity, these systems can be designed at less cost and in less time, potentially reducing lead times to weeks rather than months.

An abundance of I/O is available like: Serial, ADC, DAC, GPS, GPIO, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC429, Ethernet, Video, USB, CAN and others. 

Examples:​
  • GVC1001 Ultra-high Performance Graphics, Vision and AI Platform. 
    The GVC1001 is based on the recently-released NVIDIA® Jetson™ AGX Xavier™ module that features an NVIDIA Volta GPU with 512 Tensor Cores  and an 8-core ARM® CPU.  The GVC1001 is capable of up to 5.7 TeraFLOPS of performance. The GVC1001 is ideal for deployment on highly constrained platforms such as autonomous vehicles. Typical applications include embedded training, 360° situational awareness, EO/IR processing, non-cert Degraded Visual Environment (DVE), display processing, moving map and many more.

  • MAGIC1A  The MAGIC1A is a rugged line replaceable unit (LRU) suitable for high-performance computing in the harshest of environments. The combination of Intel and NVIDIA processors in a low SWaP-C3 package ensure it can be used across a wide range of Commercial and Military applications, including displays, situational awareness, data/radar processing, video processing, classification, and artificial intelligence.
    ​The MAGIC1A combines an Intel Xeon E3 v6 CPU and a NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GPU to provide an ideal platform for both runtime performance and ease of programming. The quad-core CPU and 768-core GPU connected by Gen 3 PCI Express are capable of up to 2.3 TFLOPS floating point performance.

  • FORCE2C Rugged Mission Computer: A 3U VPX based COTS system with a roadmap to not just DO-254/DO-178 certifiability, but DAL-A certifiability. The rugged small form factor FORCE2C Mission Computer combines state of the art Qualcomm Power Architecture™ CPU technology with extensive I/O capability to deliver unprecedented levels of performance for rugged avionics mission computing applications.
