Graphic: TAC mission systems, a family of small-form-factor embedded computers

²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, a manufacturer of cybersecure, ruggedized, made-in-USA computing solutions, is pleased to announce the development of the Tactical Advanced Computer (TAC) family, a line of fanless, sealed, small-form-factor embedded mission computers engineered for mission-critical deployments requiring strict SWaP-C optimization and advanced data-at-rest security at the edge.

Tackle dedicated, high-performance tasks in harsh and space-constrained environments, including fixed-wing aircraft, UAVs, helicopters, ships, submarines, satellites, and various land vehicles, with the TAC family's next-generation Intel processors, multiple sealed storage drives, occlusive builds, slimline dimensions, passive cooling, and resistance to rain, dust, dirt, debris, shock, and vibration, all while operating between -40°C and +70°C at 100% stress. Customers can also incorporate NVIDIA GPUs via MXM to boost edge-deployed artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications.

"Our military and industrial customers have made clear their requirements for high-performance compute power condensed into rugged, cost-effective, multi-purpose embedded computing solutions, secure and proudly manufactured in the USA," said Michael Bowling, CEO of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. "Small, durable, highly configurable, and crafted in our Lawrenceville, Georgia facility by security-conscious engineers, TAC mission systems effectively satisfy these requirements and are easily integrated into a vast range of mission-critical computing systems running high-throughput applications at the edge."

Exceptional data-at-rest (DaR) security is also at the core of the TAC family. Intel TXT and Intel SGX actively protect TAC computers’ sensitive data using hardware-based and memory-partitioning mechanisms, while ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's proactive supply chain security measures and Counterfeit Protection Program (CPP) significantly improve hardware security and prevent counterfeit parts and components from jeopardizing the safety and functionality of customers' mission-critical systems.

Boost DaR security even further with FIPS SEDs, military-grade, TAA-compliant, FIPS-140-2-certified, and powered by CipherDrive, the NIAP-listed, CSfC-listed software with pre-integrated pre-boot locking, multi-factor authentication, and an instant crypto-erase function.

"A rapid increase in sensor-acquired data, driven by the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing, has created a larger attack surface for cybercriminals," said Robert Haag, executive vice president of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. "TAC mission systems, equipped with advanced security technologies developed by Intel and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ brand partners, are secure by design, protecting sensitive data from the moment of acquisition."

TAC mission systems are designed to meet IP67, MIL-STD-810, MIL-DTL-901, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, DO-160, 2014/35/EU, 2014/30/EU, and CE. They are also compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). All ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ products, including TAC mission systems, are built to last decades and backed by a five-year warranty.
