Rugged Mission-Critical Computing Solutions for Defense & Government Applications: Air, Land & Sea

Systel is a leading developer of rugged mission-critical computing solutions designed to support the needs of defense and government clients operating under highly challenging conditions in the air, on land and at sea. Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, our products are aligned with Department of Defense MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) directives and have been successfully deployed around the world for more than 30 years.

We regularly support multi-year and multi-decade programs, ensuring that our supply chains are actively managed and vetted to ensure zero downtime and to enable convenient and secure upgrade paths. We also provide rigorous in-house testing to a range of MIL-STD standards, and are fully AS9100D and ISO 9001 certified.

In addition to military and government applications, our products are also ideal for a wide range of commercial, civil and industrial applications, including oil and gas, factory automation, surveying and inspection, law enforcement, and autonomous vehicles.

Embedded Computing Solutions

The Strike family of rugged embedded computing solutions has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of mission-critical video processing and data analytics applications at the tactical edge. Featuring open standards architectures designed using a modular open systems approach (MOSA), these high-performance computers offer cutting-edge AI and CPU/GPU parallel processing, as well as multi-sensor and multi-format video capture and encode options.

The modular systems provide dense I/O and robust expansion and upgrade capabilities in a single low-SWaP Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), maximizing versatility and deployability. Strike computers are fully sealed and built to withstand extended operating temperature ranges, and are designed to meet a variety of MIL-SPEC standards including MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-1275E, and MIL-STD-704F.
