Eurotech subsidiary Parvus announced a more powerful version of its rugged tactical mission computer. The Parvus DuraCor 810-Duo runs Linux on a 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and targets "high reliability" military and homeland defense applications, says the company.
The DuraCor 810-Duo is designed for Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) military applications that enhance "the situational awareness and onboard computing capabilities" of unmanned aircraft and tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles, says Parvus. The DuraCor 810-Duo meets several "MIL" standards (see spec list) for environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, shock/vibration, ingress, and EMI/EMC conducted and radiated emissions/susceptibility, says the company. The device is also said to meet the power supply voltage and surge/transient requirements of ground and airborne military deployments.
