ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the Parvus DuraCOR 8044 modular mission computer workstation for military and civil tactical processing applications.

The rugged small form factor (SFF) mission computer features a sealed and fanless IP67-compliant design that enables system designers to meet compute-intensive requirements for applications deployed in harsh environments.

The embedded computing processor is for manned and unmanned systems applications like civil and military in-vehicle, maritime and airborne mission computing, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, tactical ground vehicles, outdoor and underground systems, and command and control.

The ITAR-free U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR)-controlled unit features an 8-core, 16 thread 11th gen Intel Xeon W (Tiger Lake-H) processor.

The DuraCOR 8044 meets MIL-810G and DO-160G environmental test standards, weighs 5.6 pounds and measures 6.75 by 6.25 by 3.5 inches and the Intel Iris Xe GPU supports OpenGL for graphics-intensive applications and OpenCL for general-purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU)-accelerated processing. The unit supports high-speed real-time Ethernet endpoint connectivity at rates as fast as 10 Gigabits per second.

The DuraCOR 8044 provides cyber security features like zero-trust computing, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, to ensure that only trusted and signed BIOS and software can execute on the system.

The unit also supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot, Intel Boot Guard, Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel AES-NI), Intel SHA Extensions, zeroize discrete, and optional self-encrypting and fast-purge solid-state drives.

The DuraCOR 8044 protects from the effects of shock, vibration, thermal extremes, altitude, humidity, and dust and dirt ingress. For more information contact Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions online at www.curtisswrightds.com.
