The FG2 server range is ideal for a wide range of defense applications, including real-time processing, AI and machine learning workloads, sensor fusion, battlespace management, C4ISR processing, command and control communications, intelligence gathering, data storage and GPU server applications.

Rugged Switches

Embedded Computing

Crystal Group’s rugged embedded computers provide compact, high-performance processing for critical missions and forward-deployed applications where space, weight, reliability and environmental resilience are key. The range includes lightweight small-form-factor systems, sealed embedded computers, portable workstation computers and high-performance sealed servers, with configurations supporting data collection, processing, storage, GPU acceleration, AI inferencing and mission equipment workloads.

Designed for harsh operating environments, the product range offers a variety of options including advanced thermal management, MIL-CIRC I/O, removable SSD storage, DC power, rugged mounting, IP67 and IP68 sealed chassis designs, and compatibility with military environmental and electromagnetic standards. The systems support a wide variety of use cases, including aviation cockpits, mobile vehicle platforms, unmanned surface vessels, video processing and inferencing, drone data collection and processing, and ground mobile ISR.

AI & Autonomy Solutions

Built around a sealed, submersible chassis with IP67 ingress protection, the AVC0500 is designed to deliver reliable performance in harsh operating conditions. Liquid cooling provides enhanced thermal performance, and the unit’s integrated 18–36 VDC power supply is suited to low-voltage, noisy vehicular applications. The system also supports multiple full-height and low-profile PCIe cards, U.2 NVMe SSD storage, and intelligent IPMI management control.

Rugged Video Appliances

Crystal Group’s ruggedized video appliances provide reliable video extension, streaming and control, and KVM capabilities for demanding edge environments where high-quality visual data is critical for mission effectiveness. Designed for integration into existing infrastructure, the systems support real-time 4K video workflows over standard GbE networks, helping operators to access, distribute and manage critical video-based information with low latency and seamless accuracy. The RVA range is well suited to defense applications such as command post operations, remote system control, multi-monitor operator workstations, high-density content distribution and rugged deployable video infrastructure. By enabling secured systems to be centralized and accessed remotely, the appliances help enhance information flow while protecting hardware from environmental hazards and reducing heat, noise and equipment burden at operator stations.
