Systel’s Sparrow-Strike ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) MIL-SPEC rugged edge processor was awarded the 4-Star Best in Show Award by Military Embedded Systems at the 2023 Annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference. Sparrow-Strike received the highest level award in the Embedded Computing category.

Systel, an industry leader in rugged computing announced the product introduction of Sparrow-Strike at the 2023 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition. Sparrow-Strike is an ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) MIL-SPEC rugged edge mission computer. Designed using a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) with a modular chassis and architecture design, integrating either the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX edge AI system on module (SOM) or an Intel x86-based processor, Sparrow-Strike provides the performance and flexibility demanded by emerging autonomous and uncrewed missions, in an ultra-compact and lightweight form factor.

Embedded computers are a combination of hardware and software that are designed to perform specific tasks, and as the name suggests they form part of – or are “embedded” into – wider mechanical or electrical systems.

Shephard Media covered the Kite-Strike II product launch at AUSA 2022 with editorial coverage on the performance and capabilities of the product which is purpose-built for demanding edge AI workloads in austere environments for force protection, computer vision, and autonomous mission-critical applications.

Aneesh Kothari, VP Marketing at Systel, spoke with Tom Varcie of Military Embedded Systems at the AUSA 2022 conference about Kite-Strike II, the world's first MIL-SPEC rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute solution. Tom got into the action, participating in the edge AI demonstration running live in the booth on Kite-Strike II.

Kite-Strike II has been named Product of the Week by Military Embedded Systems. Kite-Strike II is the world's first fully rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute solution, providing next-gen performance and robust capabilities for edge AI and autonomous mission-critical applications. 

Systel, an industry leader in rugged computing introduced Kite-Strike II at the 2022 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition. Kite-Strike II is a next-generation, fully rugged small form factor (SFF) embedded computing solution, providing a massive leap forward in edge-deployed AI compute technology and capabilities for unmanned and autonomous missions.

Here’s the problem – there is a massive proliferation of HD sensors in the modern battlespace, creating an enormous amount of “Big Data.” Data is collected at numerous ingest points and streamed to processing nodes, providing the ability to act in real-time.

Systel, Inc.®, an industry leader in rugged computer hardware solutions announced today that its Kite-Strike™ rugged edge AI computing system was recognized as a Platinum Honoree by the 2021 Technology Innovators Awards from Military & Aerospace Electronics.

If you’re thinking about buying a rugged computer, then you need to have the confidence that it can survive the most extreme conditions and it will still function when it’s needed in critical situations. But what exactly is ruggedization, and what do you need to look out for?
