The ACB200 Rugged Mission Computer combines powerful processing with a compact, sealed aluminium chassis. It meets the strict Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) requirements of modern defence and industrial systems.
Key Features
High-performance Intel® i7 Gen 12 or better processor – Delivers strong computing power for mission-critical data processing, sensor fusion, and control tasks.
Compact, rugged form factor – Approximately 15.75 cm × 11.43 cm × 4.06 cm and ~1.13 kg, perfect for tight spaces in aircraft, vehicles, or portable systems.
Fanless, convection-cooled design – Fully sealed aluminium enclosure eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance and preventing dust, sand, and moisture ingress.
Flexible I/O and connectivity – Supports USB 2.0/3.0, RS-232/422, dual Gigabit Ethernet, VGA output, with optional WiFi, GPS, and frame grabber modules.
Low power consumption – Typical operation between 11–14 W, optimised for low-SWaP defence and industrial deployments.
Rugged MIL-STD compliance – Designed to MIL-STD-810 (shock 40 g, vibration 2.2 grms, operating temperature –10 °C to +55 °C, optional –40 °C) and MIL-STD-461E (EMI/EMC).
Environmental resilience – Fully sealed against dust, sand, and salt fog; reliable up to 40,000 ft altitude and in 95% non-condensing humidity.
Key Benefits
Reliable in extreme environments – To begin with, the ACB200 withstands temperature extremes, high altitude, vibration, and shock. Ensuring dependable performance in mission-critical settings.
Outstanding compute density – Moreover, it delivers high-performance processing in a small, lightweight package. Therefore, making it ideal for unmanned systems, mobile command posts, or vehicle and aircraft consoles.
Low maintenance and long life – In addition, the fanless design and solid-state storage reduce wear points. Therefore, extending service life and improving mean time between failures (MTBF).
Flexible integration – Finally, wide voltage input (9–36 VDC), rich I/O, and configurable connectors. Simplify installation in new builds or retrofit projects.
Applications
The ArgonFDS ACB200 Rugged Computer is ideal for mission-critical applications that demand powerful, compact, and reliable computing, including:
Defence & Aerospace – Mission processing in fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, UAVs, and UGVs. As well as sensor fusion and C4ISR control systems.
Naval & Maritime – Bridge and shipboard computing where salt fog, vibration, and humidity require military-grade durability.
Ground Vehicles – Tactical command, weapons control, or surveillance processing inside armoured or utility vehicles.
Industrial & Harsh Environments – Oil & gas monitoring, mining equipment, or remote industrial automation where ruggedness and reliability are essential.
