Rugged SBCs enable C4-ISR systems to process fast in confined space

GE Intelligent Platforms today announced three new rugged single board computers (SBCs) based on 3^rd generation Intel Core processors. The SBC625, XVR15 and XCR15 deliver increased processing power, graphics capability, I/O bandwidth and functional density to demanding industrial and mil/aero applications. These applications include command/control, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), radar/sonar and signal processing.

The new platforms are 100% compatible with their predecessors for a straightforward upgrade path for existing users. They deliver up to 15% greater computational horsepower, and up to 50% improved 3D graphics performance. Several COTS boards offer support for USB 3.0 and provide up to 10x the data transfer throughput of USB 2.0. Power consumption/heat dissipation is identical to preceding products.

The SBC625, XCR15 and XVR15, designed for 6U VPX, CompactPCI and VME systems, are available in five build levels, from benign (air cooled) to fully rugged (conduction cooled) to provide customers with optimum price/performance.

The SBC625, XVR15 and XCR15 are offered initially with the 2.3GHz Intel Core i7-3615QE processor featuring Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX), up to 16GBytes of DDR3 memory and a solid state disk drive of 16GBytes capacity. I/O options include Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, DVI, VGA and audio. Supported operating systems include Windows 7, Open Linux, Wind River Linux and VxWorks.
