Built to house a conduction-cooled SOSA-aligned processor board with mission-centric I/O, Apollo delivers processing in an ultra-compact, MIL-grade form factor, enabling deployment in constrained environments without sacrificing performance.
Apollo is a fully capable tactical computing node and has been designed for use cases where size, weight, and power (SWaP) are critical. Apollo integrates seamlessly into UAV avionics bays, portable field kits, or dismounted soldier systems and its compact footprint enables faster deployment, greater platform compatibility, and flexibility at the edge of operations, eliminating the need for bulky enclosures or power-hungry systems.
Apollo’s integrated 1 and 10 gigabit Ethernet provides high-speed, low-latency communications across distributed systems. Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) can be enabled for applications that need precision timing, deterministic behaviour, and synchronised operations across tactical edge nodes.
All of which makes Apollo suitable for use cases such as distributed sensors, control surfaces, or ISR systems that must remain tightly coordinated – even in complex environments.
Engineered to meet MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810G, and MIL-STD-704 environmental standards, Apollo is suitable for use in challenging shock, vibration, temperature, and electromagnetic-challenged environments. Its sealed, modular design ensures ease of integration, maintenance, and long-term reliability.
Key features of Apollo include:
Ultra-compact tactical node: 1-slot conduction-cooled VPX system, approx. 3.6 kg, ideal for SWaP-constrained platforms.
TSN enabled high-speed networking: 1/10G Ethernet for low-latency communication.
Rugged design for harsh environments: Designed to meet MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810G, and MIL-STD-704 standards, ensuring operational reliability in extreme conditions.
Modular, easy integration: Supports Hermes processor PIC, with additional I/O flexibility via XMC and Mini PCIe.
