SUGAR LAND, Texas – Systel Inc. in Sugar Land, Texas, is introducing the Kite-Strike next-generation rugged computer for embedded edge supercomputing for deployment in harsh environments.

The Kite-Strike integrates the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier system-on-module, comes in a compact form factor, and enables real-time artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing, deep learning, and machine learning capabilities.

The rugged computer provides centralized sensor ingest and data fusion support for mission-critical applications, and is configurable and modular.

Kite-Strike is engineered and manufactured for low size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP), and offers data center performance in a compact, rugged embedded edge computer.
