Curtiss-Wright Introduces its First Intel® "Broadwell"-based Small Form Factor Rugged Mission Computer for Deployed Air and Ground Platforms
Curtiss-Wright's Defense Solutions division debuts its first quad-core, 5th generation, Intel® Coreâ„¢ i7 (Broadwell) processor-based, small form factor (SFF), modular mission computer, the Parvus® DuraCOR® 80-42. Designed to address system integrator demand for high performance multi-core processing and advanced graphics capabilities in the smallest possible package, this latest addition to the popular Parvus family of SFF subsystem solutions is ideal for integrating uncompromised compute power into size, weight and power (SWaP) constrained airborne, ground and shipboard vehicles. Achieving a new level of computational and graphics performance, the DuraCOR 80-42 features an integrated Intel® Irisâ„¢ Pro Graphics GPU to support OpenGL®-based graphics-intensive applications. It also supports OpenCLâ„¢ on the 40-core GPU, providing up to 640 GFLOPS of performance for data processing-intensive applications. Its powerful Advanced Vector Extensions accelerate math-intensive algorithms.
The highly rugged mission computer supports the full -40 to +71C military operating temperature range without active cooling or moving parts such as fans.
"Our newest small form factor mission computer, the Parvus DuraCOR 80-42, delivers next-generation Broadwell Intel Core i7 processing and powerful graphics in a small rugged modular chassis that can be quickly modified to platform-specific requirements with minimal or no NRE expense," said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense Solutions division. "This robust COTS solution for civil and military tactical mission processing is ideal for demanding embedded computing applications deployed on ground vehicles, fixed or rotary wing aircraft, and maritime platforms."
