Elma Electronic has introduced a new a fanless, rugged mission computing platform, the compact F-Series PCIe/104 Platform. Combining a suite of high speed I/O with a high performance HD4600 graphics engine, the F- Series enables unparalleled performance for countless applications including radar and sonar processing; image signal processing; hyperspectral imaging; tactical command and control; surveillance and reconnaissance in defense; transportation, mining and industrial applications.

The F-Series PCIe/104 Platform combines an innovative, highly configurable structure with Intel’s 4th generation Quad or Dual Core processor. Easily modified with custom I/O panels, expandable sidewall modules and application specific PC104e I/O expansion cards, the F-Series Platform can take on additional I/O including video compression and frame grabbers, ARINC and 1553 cards, Ethernet and Ethernet switching plus FPGA and GPGPU processing.

Taking full advantage of the Intel’s cutting edge processor and all its capabilities, including the 8-series QM87 PCH chipset, the F-Series is particularly useful where multi-core processor performance is needed in space constrained, rugged or extended temperature environments.

Incorporation of a hermally conductive base as well as ribbed sidewalls and fins provide convection and conduction cooling for superior thermal management. Operating over a temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, the rugged mission computer ensures reliable performance in high shock and vibration applications by being deisgned to meet MIL-STD-810F.

Offered in three different modular chassis sizes to fit different configuration environments, Elma’s new F- Series Platform ensures optimal performance while meeting SWaP requirements. With lead timjes of 8 weeks ARO, pricing for the F-Series PCIe/104 Platform starts at $4,500.00, dependant on the configuration.
