Rugged Mission Computer ACB300

The ArgonFDS ACB300 Rugged Computer delivers server-grade performance in a compact, fully sealed, military-grade enclosure.

Measuring approximately 21.8 cm × 17.3 cm × 7.4 cm and weighing around 3.4 kg.  This rugged mission computer combines Intel® 11th Gen i7 processing with optional NVIDIA RTX/T1000 GPU acceleration.  To handle intensive AI edge computing, sensor fusion, and real-time video processing.

Built to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461E. It is ideal for defence, aerospace, unmanned systems, naval, and industrial environments.  Where reliability and compute density are mission-critical.

The ACB300 Rugged Mission Computer sets a new standard for high-performance embedded computing.


Key Features

  • Powerful processing & graphics – Intel® 11th Gen i7 CPU with optional NVIDIA RTX or T1000 GPU delivers advanced graphics, parallel processing, and AI inference capability.

  • Compact rugged design – Approx. 21.8 cm × 17.3 cm × 7.4 cm, weighing about 3.4 kg, ideal for aircraft, naval vessels, ground vehicles, or mobile command centres.

  • Fanless, fully sealed enclosure – Convection-cooled aluminium chassis eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance and ensuring protection from dust, sand, salt fog, and moisture.

  • Flexible I/O & expansion – Includes dual Gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, RS-232, eight LVTTL GPIO, and dual DVI/HDMI video outputs up to 1920×1200p60, plus PCIe expansion for specialised cards such as frame grabbers or additional GPU modules.

  • Low-SWaP optimised – Typical power consumption ranges from 25 W to 75 W, allowing performance scaling based on system requirements.

  • Rugged MIL-STD compliance – Designed to MIL-STD-810 (shock 40 g, vibration 2.2 grms, –10 °C to +55 °C operation, –40 °C option) and MIL-STD-461E (EMI/EMC).

  • Altitude & humidity resilience – Reliable at 40,000 ft operating altitude with 45,000 ft rapid decompression capability and up to 95% non-condensing humidity.


Key Benefits

  • Exceptional compute density – To begin with, the ACB300 provides server-class processing and GPU power in a small rugged form factor.  Ideal for AI edge computing and real-time data analysis.

  • Flexible integration – Moreover, customisable I/O connectors, PCIe expansion, and multiple video outputs.  Simplify integration into existing or new defence, aerospace, or industrial architectures.

  • Long-term reliability – In addition, the fanless design and solid-state components reduce wear points.  Therefore, extend system life, lowering maintenance costs.

  • Mission-ready performance – Finally, its ability to operate under extreme temperatures, high altitude, and continuous vibration ensures. Dependable performance in mission-critical environments.


Applications

The ArgonFDS ACB300 Rugged Computer is perfect for mission-critical applications requiring high-performance computing and GPU acceleration, including:

  • Defence & AerospaceMission computers for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, UAVs, and UGVs, supporting sensor fusion, C4ISR data processing, and AI-based situational awareness.

  • Naval & MaritimeShipboard computing, sonar and radar processing, and video analytics in salt-fog and vibration-heavy marine conditions.

  • Ground VehiclesTactical command, target recognition, and real-time surveillance processing in armoured or utility vehicles.

  • Industrial & Harsh EnvironmentsOil & gas, mining, and remote automation where rugged, GPU-powered computing is required.
