Lightweight Rugged Operating Computer's small size and
full-featured capability is ideal for the tight spaces typically
found in military vehicles -- Lightweight rugged computer fits in
the palm of your hand -- Versatile system architecture based on
standard PMC modules -- Highly flexible computing and I/O options
-- Designed for extended temperature harsh vibration, shock, and
EMI environments SBS Technologies(R) (NASDAQ:SBSE): Today, at the
Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and
Exposition, SBS Technologies continued its role as an embedded
defense market leader by introducing a versatile Rugged Operating
Computer (ROC) that defines a new standard for deployable
lightweight, compact vehicle computers. The ruggedized ROC vehicle
computer is a powerful and compact PMC computing system. Weighing
less than six pounds and measuring less than 100 cubic inches, the
ROC fits well into the tight spaces usually found in military
vehicle applications. The ROC can be configured with an Intel(R) or
PowerPC(R) processor PMC and is the first in a new line of general
purpose vehicle computers, giving a true off-the-shelf solution to
the challenge of providing low-cost, high density computing and I/O
capabilities within an integrated avionics, navtronics and
vetronics application. "The versatility of the PMC-based ROC
provides high-performance computing power in a small package,
making it a tailored fit for many military applications," said Dave
Wessing, Vice President and General Manager of SBS Technologies
Government Group. "The small ROC is highly configurable and
adaptable to many military applications, making it a perfect choice
for UAVs and ground combat vehicles as well as troop field use.
Inside the box we can draw from our vast selection of PMC modules
to configure a custom product from COTS components, reducing design
costs and development time," continued Wessing. The ROC chassis has
a modular stacked PMC architecture, an integrated 100 W power
supply and EMI filter, and a solid state fast Compact Flash disk
with up to 128 GBytes of memory mounted on a PMC carrier module. A
wide variety of optional PMC processor modules and discrete and
analog I/O PMC modules provide flexible user control and in-circuit
programmability. Other control interfaces and I/O options,
including any standard SBS or 3rd party conduction-cooled PMCs, are
available upon request. The ROC supports many embedded operating
systems including VxWorks(R), INTEGRITY(R), Windows(R) XP and
Linux(R). Price and Availability Available now, pricing for one ROC
System Enclosure, which includes one system chassis, one power
supply, and one single board computer, starts at US$19,750. A two
ROC System Enclosure, which includes two system chassis, one power
supply, one single board computer, one 8 channel high-speed serial
PMC, and one dual redundant MIL-STD 1553 PMC, starts at US$44,500.
