HIAWATHA, Iowa, 23 Feb. 2010. Crystal Group Inc. in Hiawatha, Iowa, is introducing the TCM2 tactical computing module for avionics applications, military shipboard computing, and land-based embedded computing.
The TCM2 can also be configured with as many as eight additional 2.5-inch rotational or solid-state hard drives with the addition of a bolt-on expansion base. The module also comes with MIL-C-26482 military circular connectors.
The TCM2 rugged computer operates in temperatures from -40 to 65 degrees Celsius and in random vibration of 7.18 GRMS. The harsh-environment computing module runs on a standard 10-36 volts DC power supply, which enables it to run on conventional vehicle power.
The TCM2 military computer comes with MIL-STD-461E filtering, and runs on a dual-core 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo microprocessor, as much as 8 gigabytes of RAM, low profile PCI Express expansion capabilities, and rugged data storage of two 2.5-inch rotational or solid-state hard drives.
