Four processor capability Integrated gigabit Ethernet router Hard drives removable without tools Sealed, conduction cooled electronics Ruggedized chassis Half ATR form factor with EPLRS-sized mount Optional heaters for cold weather operation Card slots designed to provide scalable and upgradable capability Investment protective architecture provides bridging to future
application capability by supporting loosely coupled multiprocessing, network
addressable storage and redundant network connectivity Configurable card set provides flexibility for addressing
different mission needs through various processor, storage, connectivity and
security capability options Integrated gigabit Ethernet router reduces the need for external
router components Removable storage preserves capability to configure system
immediately prior to mission execution
OVERVIEW
The Net-centric Computing System (NCS) provides advanced computing capabilities
while reducing space, weight and power requirements, allowing integration
into a wide variety of platforms, including tracked, wheeled, and airborne
vehicles. This system has a completely sealed, conduction cooled chassis providing
protection against vehicle shock, vibration, dust, sand, water and salt fog
in an easy-to-remove small form factor making it weather resistant and reliable
under extreme conditions. The Net-centric Computing System consists of four independent, rugged
Compact PCI Computing Modules (CM), four removable hard drives for operating
system and mass storage, and a Gigabit Ethernet router housed in a rugged
enclosure. Each CM is a complete single board computer providing peripheral
support and control of an associated hard drive. The CMs can be networked
via the internal GbE router. This system is capable of hosting high-speed
Intel® and SPARC™ processor blades and is architected for compatibility with
the Army’s ABCS application suite.
