Aitech Systems has developed a compact, rugged AI system enhanced with CoaXPress (CXP), MIL-STD 1553, ARINC429, and a Real Time OS
The AItech A178-AV has two dedicated NVDLA (Nvidia Deep-Learning Accelerator) engines providing an interface for deep learning AI applications. The Jetson AGX Xavier GPU System-on-Module supports AI, deep learning, and video and signal processing for the next generation of avionic platforms.
Its Volta GPU with 512 CUDA cores and 64 Tensor cores reaches 32 TOPS INT8 and 11 TFLOPS FP16 at a remarkable level of energy efficiency, providing all the power needed for AI-based local processing where needed, next to the sensors. The A178-AV also features two dedicated NVDLA (NVIDIA Deep-Learning Accelerator) engines providing an interface for deep learning applications.
“AI in avionic electronics continues to grow in complexity. A small form factor AI system such as the A178-AV provides powerful, efficient, and reliable computing solutions ranging from low power, high-speed video acquisition, and avionic communication interfaces to high-performance AI capabilities and a real-time operating system, tailored to meet the unique needs of aircraft operations across rugged environments,” said Dan Mor, Director of Products & Solutions, of Aitech.
Space-rated Jetson AI supercomputer in re-entry demonstration
The A178-AV is an upgrade of Aitech’s A178 COTS system now enhanced with CoaXPress (CXP), MIL-STD 1553, ARINC429 and the RedHawk Real Time OS
The CoaXPress video input provides avionics systems with a reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency, and cost-effective solution for transmitting video data, essential for tasks such as navigation, surveillance, pilot assistance, and situational awareness in aircraft operations.
The MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 protocols offer users a flexible, reliable, deterministic, and cost-effective communication solution for avionics systems, making the supercomputer well-suited for critical aerospace applications where safety, performance, and interoperability are paramount. The A178-AV Xavier GPU provides the same large storage capacity, variety of I/O interfaces and high-speed 10Gb Ethernet connectivity as the base A178 platform.
