Accelerate demanding defense, aerospace or industrial edge applications with the latest COTS server-class technologies from Intel and NVIDIA. Purpose-built in AS9100-certified facilities with a trusted supply chain for performance you can count on.

EXECUTIVE SUITE
LMX will be an orbiting single-channel near-infrared optical persistent surveillance detector to monitor for potentially damaging lightning storms.
PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Microbe-based sensors work will include tailoring of input stimuli and output signals, biologically encoded signal processing, and response times.
The DARPA QuANET program seeks to build a hardened configurable network interface card that connects quantum links with classical computing nodes.
The agency aims to modernize the capability to capture optical imagery of launches, provide high-resolution imagery of local flight test events and offer situational awareness to launch personnel.
The project will increase the effort of cyber attackers by influencing their decision-making, rather than just detecting cyber attacks.
DESIGN-IN CASE STUDIES
MAX seeks to achieve at least a 100 times improvement in power efficiency and processing density compared to state-of-the-art digital signal processing.
Black Hornet 3 personal reconnaissance unmanned aircraft provides covert situational awareness with quick-setup visible-light and infrared cameras.
New microsats will help provide insight into thunderstorms' impacts on weather and climate models.
The RCVT seeks to enable unit collective and combined-arms air-ground training for aviation and ground units using a synthetic training environment.
EXECUTIVE BUSINESS
BQM-177A is a high-subsonic aerial target that mimics the behaviors and radar cross sections of high-subsonic sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missiles.
Jaunt plans to support Redwings in its launch of an air taxi service in urban markets beginning in the high altitudes of Mexico City.
Each Trident II missile has a range of 4,000 to 7,000 miles, and its navigation subsystem uses a combination of inertial and celestial guidance.
The PATRIOT PAC-3 is a hit-to-kill ground-to-air missile designed to defeat tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and aircraft.
