DoD-compliant Removable Storage Module Added to Aitech's Low Power, High Performance Rugged Compact PC (RCP)

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Aitech Defense Systems Inc. now offers its A172, a low-power, high performance rugged compact PC (RCP) with a removable storage module that meets DoD 5220.22-M for quick/secure erase.  The 1 TB, secure SSD offers MLC and SLC NAND Flash as well as a sustainable read/write speed of up to 400 MB/sec.

Technical Specifications

• Removable mass storage offers quick/secure erase (DoD 5220.22-M) and unrecoverable data destruct
• SWaP-optimized at less than 5 lbs (2.25 kg) in compact, low-profile housing
• Added reliability features include TPM and 50 ms power holdup options
• Available in standard models or cost-effectively customized for specific applications

The low-profile A172 is a compact 10.24" x 7.09" x 1.8" (260 mm x 180 mm x 46 mm), featuring a powerful Intel Core i7 or Xeon processor and multiple standardized modules.  Easily customizable I/O, CPU, storage and operating system options enable the unit to be cost-effectively engineered for specific application requirements.

In addition, the RCP offers added design flexibility with DVI and RS-170A RGBHV video output options, optional WiFi and frame grabber video inputs as well as TPM (trusted platform management) and a 50 ms holdup option for increased system reliability.

Available with three Intel processor options and two standard I/O versions, the modular A172 can be configured to handle several data processing environments, especially in high impact, space-constrained applications that need high throughput and secure storage. These typically include manned and unmanned robotic ground and underwater vehicles (UGV/UUV) as well as manned and unmanned fixed- and rotary-wing airborne (UAV) platforms.  The RCP can also be used in complete mission computers for these types of unmanned vehicles.

Designed using a standard Type 6 COM Express module, the flexible A172 can be customized with specific processor types for less complex system integration. Equally as important, this facilitates cost-effective technology insertion upgrades as needed.
