Integrating GPU-Based AI Sensors into SOSA®-Aligned and OpenVPX Rugged Platforms

Oct. 29, 2025

As defense systems evolve to rely more heavily on autonomous operations, electronic intelligence, and edge computing, the integration of AI into rugged platforms is becoming a mission-critical priority. In this blog, we explore how GPU-based AI sensors can be effectively integrated into SOSA®-aligned and OpenVPX platforms, and what that means for performance, size, and thermal management in harsh environments.

Why AI at the Tactical Edge?

 Deploying AI at the edge enables faster decision-making, lower latency, and autonomy in disconnected or degraded environments. Applications include:

  • Object detection in ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance)
  • Real-time threat identification in EI (Electronic Intelligence)
  • Onboard diagnostics and predictive maintenance
