North Atlantic Industries' SIU34S Selected as Mission Computer for HADES

July 2024 -- North Atlantic Industries (NAI), a leader in rugged, embedded electronics and computing solutions for the defense, industrial, and commercial aerospace industries, proudly announces that its latest product, the SIU34S, has been selected as the Mission Computer for the High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) program. The SIU34S is the latest addition to the HADES platform.

The SIU34S is a versatile and scalable Rugged Mission Computer designed to meet the requirements of modern military and aerospace applications. The SIU34S aligns with the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA™), ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various systems. Its multiprocessor architecture, 3G SDI video input/output, and high-density I/O capabilities make it ideal for processing-intensive applications in air, land, and sea environments.

Leveraging NAI’s Configurable Open Systems Architecture™ (COSA®), the SIU34S offers unmatched flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities. The system integrates Quad Core i7 Intel Tiger Lake (TGL) SBC, multiple smart function modules and video XMC to deliver a comprehensive solution for processing, video, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), ARINC-429/575, MIL-STD-1553 communications, high density SATA storage, Discrete I/O and Digital-to-Analog output. This commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution is SWaP-optimized and supports a broad spectrum of Mil-Aero applications.

"We are excited to see the SIU34S become an integral part of the HADES program," said Lino Massafra, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at NAI. "Our commitment to developing and delivering cutting-edge technology in less time with No NRE that meets the demands of military and aerospace applications is reflected in the SIU34S. Its selection as the Mission Computer for HADES underscores the flexibility, reliability and performance that NAI products deliver."
