Crystal Group rugged servers will be deployed in radar systems
used to detect incoming missile and artillery attacks, as well as
attacks from hypersonic weapons. These radar systems are essential
to the protection and safety of U.S. soldiers and civilians around
the world.
Crystal Group was selected due to their proven history of
reliability, quality, and customer support as the existing provider
of rugged computing hardware on other portions of the program. When
lives are on the line, reliability is paramount, and Crystal
Group’s rugged product line is the most trusted available in the
market.
“Winning this program represents so much more than just a win,
it is a renewed pledge to Crystal Group and proves to our
employee-owners that their relentless commitment to our customers
does not go unnoticed,” said Lindsay Palma, program manager at
Crystal Group. “We understand the importance of mission success for
the end-user and are ecstatic to grow Crystal Group’s presence on
this program that is protecting our warfighters each and every
day.”
For this program, Crystal Group is supplying a network attached
storage unit, equipped with Commercial Solutions for Classified
(CSfC) Program capabilities, enabling encrypted data transmission
in edge environments. Crystal Group’s advanced engineering team
developed this custom cybersecurity-optimized solution that meets
all requirements.
“Our participation in this program unlocks a new realm of
opportunity for our customers’ cybersecurity challenges and enables
them to pair our proven agile engineering development with
industry-leading data protection,” said Chad Hutchinson, Vice
President, Engineering at Crystal Group.
The ground-based radar systems are deployed at the tactical edge
where environmental and electromagnetic concerns are significant,
posing numerous challenges for traditional compute hardware. By
utilizing Crystal Group’s rugged solutions, those concerns are met
with tried-and-true ruggedization techniques that enable
reliability in some of the most remote environments.
