Buzzard is a rugged small form factor (SFF) computer system, specifically tailored for the avionic, military and rugged industrial market. The system offers the best utilization of Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) in the industry, and strictly adheres to Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) standards in the industry. Though its size is small, the Buzzard II is mighty.
The versatile Buzzard may be configured with the latest high performance computer and graphics engines, as well as the best SWaP optimized, low power, System on Chip (SoC) processors; and every solution in between.
The Buzzard can support all I/O typically needed in the targeted applications, including MIL-STD-1553B, ARINC-429, AS-5643 MIL Firewire, Video Graphics, Video Frame Capture, RS-232/422/485, Fibre Channel, GigE and 10GigE, Analog and Discrete signals, and FPGA / GPGPU processors, etc. The I/O can be XMC or MiniPCIe, including Acromag’s® revolutionary “Plug and Play” AcroPack. There are additional options for Inertial Measurement and Navigation, GPS, Wi-Fi and Cellular Modem functions.
