Parvus Mission Computer Selected for NIITEK Vehicle-Mounted Mine Detection Systems

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Parvus Corp

Parvus has announced it has received a follow-on order for additional DuraCOR 810 mission computers from NIITEK, Inc to support the company's vehicle-mounted mine detection systems. These systems utilise NIITEK's ground penetrating radar (GPR) for road clearance missions. No financial details were disclosed.

The DuraCOR 810 is an open-architecture embedded computer fully designed and tested to MIL-STD-810F for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and ingress, as well as MIL-STD-1275/704D power requirements and MIL-STD-461E EMI/EMC conditions.

This field-ready tactical processing subsystem builds on years of experience at Parvus in developing and qualifying similar systems for harsh ground vehicle and aerospace installations. It integrates a low-power 1.4GHz Pentium-M processor together with a MIL-STD-704/1275 compliant power supply securely mounted in an aluminium PC/104 card cage. Up to six spare slots are available for PC/104(+) expansion cards.
