Parvus Announces Integration of DuraCOR® 810 Mission Computers into Northrop Grumman’s MQ-5B Hunter Unmanned Aircraft System

The DuraCOR® 810 is a rugged military-grade processor system designed for high reliability applications requiring MIL-STD-810F environmental compliance with extreme temperatures, shock/vibration, and ingress. Mechanically designed with considerations for dust exposure, water immersion, EMI/EMC, corrosion resistance, power protection, and system mobility, this field-ready mission computer builds on years of experience by Parvus in developing and qualifying similar systems for harsh ground vehicle and aerospace installations. This high-performance Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) tactical subsystem integrates a low-power 1.4GHz Pentium-M processor (equivalent to a 2.8GHz Pentium 4) together with a MIL-STD-704/1275 compliant power supply securely mounted in an aluminum PC/104 card cage. Up to 6 spare slots are available for PC/104(+) expansion cards. To enable rapid deployment, a solid state disk comes ready to boot with Linux, Windows XP-Pro or a Windows XP Embedded eval license…
