Embedded computing boards are for rugged military and aerospace data-intensive applications like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Aitech Systems in Chatsworth, Calif., is introducing the U-C8500, U-C8501, and U-C8502 3U VPX cyber security-enabled single-board computers aligned to The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard.

The U-C850x series single-board computers offer three main pillars of modern data processing acceleration: central processing unit (CPU), Integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU), and field-programmable gate array (FPGA).

A high-performance CPU system on chip (SoC) featuring a strong internal GPU combines with optional integrated large FPGA, qualifies the boards for rugged military and aerospace data-intensive applications like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

The U-C850x series embedded computing boards supports AiSecure, Aitech's cyber security framework that increases survivability by detecting and preventing unexpected cyber attacks. The inherent trusted computing features enable firmware and data protection and prevent reverse-engineering and tampering, while allowing secure transmission and storage of sensitive data.

The U-C850x series features a multi-core Intel CPU processor, strong general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) AI processing, and advanced cyber security protection. Its The Intel 11th generation TigerLake UP3 (TGL-UP3) SoC with four cores and eight threads, and a GPU with as many as 96 execution units offers 12-, 15-, and 28-|Watt options.

The series comes in three configurations: U-C8500: 4x PCI Express Gen3/4 data plane with XMC slot; U-C8501 with 4x PCI Express Gen3 data plane, 4xPCI Express Gen4 expansion plane, and an XMC slot; and U-C8502: 4x PCI Express Gen3 data plane, 4xPCI Express Gen4 expansion plane, and integrated Xilinx MPSoC FPGA.
