As defence and aerospace platforms increasingly adopt AI-enabled processing at the edge, selecting the right embedded computing architecture has become critical to performance, power efficiency and SWaP requirements.
This whitepaper examines the evolution of rugged GPU technology and also compares NVIDIA Blackwell, Ada Lovelace as well as Ampere architectures for embedded defence applications.
Why AI is Moving to the Edge
Modern defence systems generate unprecedented volumes of sensor, radar, video and telemetry data. As a result of this increase in data output, processing information in real time has also become a critical component for maintaining situational awareness and rapid decision making.
This development in technology has left traditional cloud based processing unsuitable for mission critical environments due to latency, bandwidth constraints and connectivity limitations. As a result, edge computing has become an important part of demanding defence based platforms. This is because Edge computing processes AI workloads closer to where data is produced. Therefore reducing delays and improving tactical operations.
