    The ATMOS-2 offers as many as 144 Intel Xeon cores, onboard NVIDIA GPU acceleration card, and built in battery uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
    The Core Systems ATMOS-2 mil-spec rugged computer is for command and control in distributed command posts at the edge, autonomous systems, and mobile operations centers.

    Questions and answers:

    • What is the ATMOS-2 computer designed for? Command and control in distributed command posts, autonomous systems, and mobile operations centers.
    • What are the key technical features of the ATMOS-2? As many as 144 Intel Xeon CPU cores, two terabytes of ECC RAM, NVIDIA GPU acceleration, four hot-swap NVMe solid-state drives, and a built-in battery uninterruptible power supply in a rugged 14-pound chassis.
    • What military standards does the ATMOS-2 meet? MIL-STD-810H for environmental ruggedness and MIL-STD-461F for EMI/EMC compliance, and optional conformal coating for humid conditions.

    POWAY, Calif. – Core Systems Inc. in Poway, Calif., is introducing the ATMOS-2 next-generation rugged computer for command and control in distributed command posts at the edge, autonomous systems, and mobile operations centers.

    The ATMOS-2 comes in a compact chassis that offers as many as 144 physical Intel Xeon cores, an onboard NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration card, and built in battery uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

    The mil-spec computer is designed for rapid deployment, is built to MIL-STD-810H specifications, and is engineered to operate in harsh contested environments for artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing, and real-time data processing.

    Each node features the ATMOS Chassis Rail System for integrating several nodes without an outer transit case. The system runs independently or in mesh with other nodes across command and control and ground stations.

    Intel Xeon CPU cores

    The ATMOS-2 rugged computer offers 64, 96 or 144 physical Intel Xeon CPU cores; as much as two terabytes of ECC RAM per node; four NVMe hot-swap solid-state drives; integrated NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU, with support for NVIDIA Blackwell 4000 GPUs; native 24-to-28-volt DC power input for vehicle and airborne systems; rugged MIL-STD-810H chassis; and a weight of 14 pounds with a 3.5-inch profile.

    The ATMOS-2 is for expeditionary computing, unmanned systems, and AI-driven battlefield applications, and supports intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; fire control; autonomous targeting; and power draw of less than 500 Watts.

    In addition to MIL-STD-810H for temperature, vibration, altitude, and shock, the ATMOS-2 meets MIL-STD-461F for EMI/EMC (with optional filter); TPM 2.0 module for hardware-based security; and offers optional conformal coating for high-humidity environments.
