Small, smaller and even smaller, Tekdense welcomes their latest rugged COTS nano-small form factor (nSFF) computer, the Kestrel, into their SFF product family. The Kestrel retains the same level of environmental ruggedization and compliance to MIL-STD-810 and DO-160 specifications, including extended temperature, shock and vibration. At 60,000 feet or on the ground, the Kestrel is an ideal choice for avionic, vetronic and other military and rugged industrial applications.

With today’s advancement in compressing technology into smaller space with less power, a 10W system can provide impressive connectivity, numeric and graphics processing, and a very wide array of I/O.

Though very small in size and low in power, the Kestrel is designed to utilize the latest CPU, Video / GPU, and GPGPU hardware, as well as to support all relevant I/O, avionic data bus interfaces, and RF options; including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The versatile Kestrel is perfect for many applications as shown below.
