Whether on the ground, in the air or at sea.

Importantly, Galleon Embedded Computing is part of the Spectra Defense & Aerospace group, which also includes ArgonFDS and Calculex. Together, they form a consortium of trusted rugged technology companies serving global defence, aerospace and intelligence programs.

As a result, with Metromatics’ deep defence experience, engineering expertise and strong local support networks across Australia and New Zealand. Defence Primes, SMEs and government agencies can now access Galleon’s mission-ready technologies with faster response times, easier integration and long-term lifecycle support.

Why Galleon Embedded Computing Matters for Defence & Aerospace in ANZ

Major Defence and Aerospace programs across Australia and New Zealand demand systems capable of operating in extreme, mission-critical conditions. These programs require:

  • High-speed mission data capture
  • Secure and removable storage for classified data
  • Processing at the edge for AI/ML, sensor fusion and ISR systems
  • Low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) designs
  • Endurance against shock, vibration, humidity and extreme temperatures
  • Certifiable hardware that meets MIL-STD and airworthiness standards
  • Long-term availability for 10–20+ year platforms

Galleon addresses all of these requirements.

Their solutions provide:

✔ Deterministic high-throughput data recording

For radar, EW, EO/IR sensors, flight test, autonomous systems and ISR payloads.

✔ Rugged edge computing for real-time processing

Supporting AI, autonomy, multi-sensor fusion and mission systems.

✔ Secure, high-capacity removable storage

For rapid turnaround between missions and safe handling of sensitive information.

✔ Extremely ruggedised designs

All units are proven for extreme military and aerospace environments.

✔ Complete lifecycle management

Long product availability ensures compatibility with long-life ANZ defence and aerospace platforms.

Galleon products are relied on globally by military organisations and technology partners — now supported locally by Metromatics.
