21 November 2002 12:33
General Dynamics C4 Systems designs, integrates, and supports strategic and tactical battlefield communication systems, worldwide. We also provide environmentally hardened and special packaging of computer equipment and peripherals for both military and commercial customers. We are pleased to introduce the following products.
Mission Data Tool (MDT) - The Mission Data Tool (MDT), the latest product in the CHS-2 arsenal of rugged computing devices. The MDT is a ruggedized PDA that hosts Pocket PC 2002 as an operating system. Additionally, it can support a customer-ported LINUX environment. The MDT has been engineered to survive the rigors of the tactical battlefield, and has incorporated extensive soldier feedback into its design. The resulting product is a computing device that will be readily accepted by the deployed warfighter and homeland defenders.
18" Color Flat Panel Display With Integrated Ultra Thin Client (CFPD/UTC) - Rugged 18” Ultra Thin Client leverages the features of a Sun Microsystems Sun Ray 1™ and combines these with the existing technologies found in the CHS-2 V2 18” CFPD (Color Flat Panel Display). The 18” UTC is a stateless terminal based on a rugged flat panel with integrated network appliance, designed for use in a network. This device is the ideal complement to provide client services to many of the General Dynamics C4 Systems’ advanced high-end computers and server products including the V2 AXmp and V2 Ultra-80.
V1 Sun Blade™ 2000 Workstation - The scalable and expandable design of this platform enables it to perform as either a client or server in a networked environment. The V1 Sun Blade front access media design offers two user-selectable, industry standard, half-height drive bays, a standard floppy drive, and an optional PCMCIA reader. Its four available PCI expansion slots provide the flexibility to accommodate wide-ranging customer requirements and legacy interfaces. Additionally, the V1 Sun Blade provides two UPA graphics slots that support Sun’s premier Elite3D m6 and Creator3D technology for the highest of graphics demands. Projectile tracking systems, three-dimensional data modeling and simulation, GIS/mapping databases, and dual display scenarios are a few examples of where the V1 Sun Blade excels.
V2 18” VCU BOSC Display Unit - V2 18” VCU BOSC Display Unit provides VCU users with a display that is lighter, smaller, and with fewer cable connections. The 18” VCU BOSC Display is an ideal alternative for those applications that do not 'remote' the display, and do not require the traditional VCU dashboard control panel. Although lighter and smaller in size, the 18” VCU BOSC has the same high resolution and viewing area as the standard 18” VCU display.
V2 4-Slice Multiple Processor Unit (4S-MPU) - Ideally suited for airborne, shipboard, and ground based Tactical Operations Centers with the requirement to fuse and display 'stovepipe' software programs of mixed vintage and operating systems, General Dynamics C4 Systems’ V2 4-Slice Multiple Processor Unit (4S-MPU) provides a versatile, configurable platform that consolidates up to four powerful single-board computer (SBC) modules into a single chassis. Featuring a robust, contemporary CompactPCI (cPCI) mid-plane design, the 4S-MPU is populated with a mix of three Sun SPARC, and one Intel Pentium-based cPCI SBC modules. Each module operates as a logically independent stand-alone workstation, retaining its own keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections, while extending native motherboard I/O to external chassis interface connectors. Ethernet ports remains available on each module to connect to an external LAN. Each SBC is able to reboot individually with a switch that can alternatively be remoted to a convenient location within the platform.
V2 Rugged Xeon™ Server (RXS) - Enables true C3 on the move applications, providing a powerful computing element with state-of-the-art horsepower for the most demanding tactical applications. The RXS design is powered by up to two of Intel’s latest generation Xeon™ Foster (up to 2.4 GHz) processors and is upgradeable to the next generation of Xeon™ Prestonia Socket 603 processors. Integrated within the processors is 512 KB of unified, non-blocking, level two caches.
