Rugged Single Board Computers

Fit for purpose. Built for performance.

Purpose-built for military systems that range from tracked combat vehicles to C4ISR systems, GD Canada single board computers (SBCs) offer features and performance  required by  military system integrators.

Domain-specific features include remote management, integrated diagnostics, fast power-up, extended temperature conduction cooling, feature rich I/O, and two-level maintenance support.

While GD Canada’s single board computer offer class-leading performance features such as multi-core processors, high performance graphics, and DDR3 memory, we understand that performance in military systems means more than lab benchmarks. Where a GD Canada SBC is concerned, performance means power efficiency, low failure rates, reliable fault prognosis and diagnosis, and room to grow with the system.
