The X9 Spider Wearable is for on-the-move high-performance processing, communications, video, database access, and artificial intelligence (AI).

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – General Micro Systems Inc. in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., is introducing the battery-powered X9 Spider Wearable S1502-MP mobile computer for U.S. soldiers, Marines, and other infantry warfighters.

The X9 Spider Wearable is for on-the-move high-performance processing, communications, video, database access, and artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as image and facial recognition, target tracking, and sensor fusion.

Designed to offer compute power and I/O in a small lightweight package, X9 Spider Wearable can drive as many as four on-body displays; connect to wireless local-area and personal-area networks; uplink to vehicles or command posts; store as much as 20 terabytes of onboard data, and connect to body sensors.

The wearable computer is based on Intel's latest 11th-generation Core i7 Xeon W eight-core (8C Tiger Lake-H) laptop processor. It has quad Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 40-gigabit-per-second I/O LightBolt ports connectable to body sensors.

An optional on-board NVIDIA RTX5000 general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) co-processor couples to the processor for AI-intensive tasks. Together, the two embedded processors and eight I/O legs in the X9 Spider Wearable represent server-class cloud processing in a battery-powered wearable computer that weighs less than three pounds.
