Systel Introduces Hawk-Strike AI at Eurosatory 2026
World’s First MIL-SPEC Rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Compute Platform Debuts at Global Defense and Security Exhibition
PARIS, France — June 15, 2026 — Systel, Inc., a leading manufacturer of MIL-SPEC rugged embedded computing solutions, today introduced Hawk-Strike AI at the Eurosatory 2026 Defense and Security Exposition in Paris, France. Hawk AI is the world’s first MIL-SPEC rugged embedded edge AI compute platform powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor, and the latest addition to Systel’s Strike family of rugged embedded computers.
Eurosatory, held June 13–17, 2026 at Paris Le Bourget, is one of the world’s premier global defense and security exhibitions. Systel exhibited Hawk AI alongside its Strike family of embedded computers at booth Hall 5A BC310.
Hawk AI delivers workstation-class AI performance in a fully sealed, MIL-rugged chassis engineered for deployment in the harshest environments. Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor with 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS and 128GB unified memory, Hawk AI brings data center-class AI inference, computer vision, and sensor fusion capability into deployable, platform-integrated edge systems. Hawk AI is purpose-built for the most demanding autonomous and compute-heavy mission-critical applications across air, land, and sea domains.
“In peer-to-peer combat, milliseconds matter. Ingest of sensor data takes time — we need to be ahead of that to win,” said Dr. Kevin Leitch, Director of Business Development, Systel. “Hawk AI provides our customers a workstation-class AI computer for service in the harshest environment, with robust configurability and expansion capabilities for the most demanding autonomous and compute-heavy mission-critical applications across air, land, and sea domains. Processing massive sensor, video, and radar data locally eliminates any latency in delivering real-time actionable intelligence. That puts us ahead of the technology curve which better enables us to support next-gen defense programs and platforms in support of national and international security objectives. That’s how we win.”
“Introducing Hawk AI at Eurosatory is a proud moment for our team,” said Aneesh Kothari, President of Systel. “Hawk AI represents a generational leap in edge AI capability for defense programs, integrating the most powerful NVIDIA embedded AI module available today, in a fully MIL-rugged platform built to Strike First. We look forward to supporting the programs and missions that demand it.”
Hawk-Strike AI is currently in pre-production, Engineering Development Units will be available soon. To learn more or inquire about Engineering Development Units, contact Systel at sales@systelusa.com or visit systelusa.com/products/hawk-ai/.
