COTS Computer

Aitech Defense Systems (Chatsworth, CA) has released a compact RediBuilt rugged COTS computer that boots and executes a real-time operating system right out of the box. The computer, measuring less than 0.22 ft3, accommodates either Intel or Freescale processors, as well as a CompactPCI or OpenVPX backplane.

Designed to TRL 9 (Technical Readiness Level) as defined by the DoD, NASA, and other government agencies, RediBuilt features builtin, real-world I/O and HD (high definition) graphics and video capabilities. Equipped with standard, circular MIL-DTL-38999 I/O connectors on the front panel and a two-slot 3U CompactPCI or OpenVPX backplane, RediBuilt provides all system interconnections, internal power distribution, and filtering circuitry pre-assembled in the unit.

A full environmental sealing protects the system from water, sand, dust, humidity, immersion, and condensation. The unit measures 202 mm (W) × 260 mm (D) × 126 mm (H), and weighs less than 13 lbs. An additional real-world sensor and effector I/O, including A/D, D/A, Servo, Resolver and RTDs, can be added via industry standard PMC/XMC mezzanine sites. The modular power supply unit and power input filter ensures reliable operation over an 18 VDC to 36 VDC input voltage range.
