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:​
  • 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.

  • GVC1001 Ultra-high Performance Graphics, Vision and AI Evaluation Platform featuring NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Module​
    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.
    ​A roadmap to a fully rugged version is in place.

  • GVC2000 Rugged Mission / Graphics Computer
    The GVC2000 features Abaco  Systems’ revolutionary expansion module to provide highly configurable I/O options. It is an optimum fit for symbol generation, mission computing, demanding graphics generation applications and GPU-accelerated data processing. The GVC2000      features the Intel® Xeon® D      12-core processor in combination with an NVIDIA® GM107 GPU.
    Based on MIL-STD-461G, DO‑160G, MIL-STD-704F, MIL‑STD-810G specifications, the GVC2000 minimises costs with zero to minimal NRE for standard configurations.
