Metromatics is pleased to announce the availability of the latest Spectra Defense Technologies portfolio. Providing Australian and New Zealand defence organisations with access to a comprehensive range of rugged data recorders, mission computers, encrypted storage systems, displays, and integrated C5ISR solutions.
Designed for deployment across air, land, maritime and unmanned platforms. Firstly, Spectra’s portfolio enables defence integrators and platform developers to capture, process, store and display mission-critical information in some of the world’s most demanding operating environments.
A Complete C5ISR Technology Ecosystem
Modern defence platforms generate vast amounts of data from sensors, communications systems, mission computers, surveillance equipment and tactical networks. Managing this information requires rugged hardware capable of operating reliably in harsh environments while maintaining security, performance and interoperability.
Spectra addresses these challenges through an integrated technology ecosystem spanning the complete mission data workflow:
- Capture – Data acquisition and recording systems
- Process – Mission computing, routing and data management
- Store – Secure and encrypted storage solutions
- Display – Rugged visualisation and operator interface systems
This end-to-end approach simplifies system integration while reducing development risk for defence programs and platform upgrades.
Rugged Data Recording and Acquisition Systems
Spectra has a long history of supplying mission recording and data acquisition systems for military aircraft, unmanned systems, test platforms and defence programs.
The portfolio includes the proven RIPR (Recorder, Integrated Processor and Router) family. As well as high-performance RAPTOR recording systems, flight data recorders and specialised acquisition hardware. All designed to capture and process mission data in real time.
These systems support demanding applications requiring high-speed recording, data routing, video capture, processing and secure storage.
Mission Computing and Secure Storage
As military platforms become increasingly software-defined and data-driven, rugged computing infrastructure has become essential.
Spectra’s mission computing portfolio includes rugged servers, mission computers, network-attached storage (NAS) systems. In addition, encrypted storage solutions designed for deployment in harsh operational environments.
Many solutions are optimised for Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C), making them suitable for:
- Unmanned aerial systems (UAS)
- Ground vehicles
- Maritime platforms
- Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications
- Edge computing deployments
Available security features include AES-256 encryption, removable secure storage modules and advanced data protection technologies designed to safeguard sensitive mission information.
Rugged Displays and Operator Interfaces
The Spectra Defense Technologies portfolio also includes a broad range of rugged display and operator interface solutions.
Available products include military-grade LCD displays from 5-inch to 43-inch formats, rugged tablets, workstations, keyboards and secure KVM switches.
Designed for defence environments, these systems can incorporate features such as:
- Sunlight-readable displays
- Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatibility
- Rugged touchscreens
- Custom mechanical configurations
- Integrated computing solutions
By sourcing displays, computing hardware and operator interfaces from a single supplier ecosystem, defence integrators can simplify procurement and improve system compatibility.
