Sparrow-Strike
Sparrow-Strike is an ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) MIL-SPEC rugged edge compute solution. Designed using a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) with a modular chassis and architecture design, integrating either the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX edge AI system on module (SOM) or an Intel x86-based processor, Sparrow-Strike provides the performance and flexibility demanded by emerging autonomous and uncrewed missions, in an ultra-compact and lightweight form factor. Sparrow-Strike is engineered to withstand austere environments and is SWaP-optimized for integration and deployment in highly space-constrained platforms.
“Sparrow-Lite” reduced SWaP variants are available – contact our team to learn more!

AI or Compute at the Edge
Can integrate the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (16GB) or an SMARC x86 Intel Atom CPU. Dual architecture options within the same chassis, reducing development / deployment time and program risk.
Ultra-Small-Form-Factor (USFF)
Ultra-compact and lightweight, SWaP-optimized for integration and deployment in highly space-constrained vehicles.
Modular and Configurable
Orin NX and SMARC x86-based architecture/processor options. Robust IO and configuration options, including multiple USB 3.0, GbE, serial, display, video capture, GPS, GPIO.
MIL-SPEC Rugged
Engineered for austere environments. -40C to +55C operating temp, passive cooled. Fully sealed. MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-1275E/704F.
Operation Sunken Sparrow
Systel debuts Sparrow-Strike x86 at AUSA 2024, featuring an Intel x86 processor for compute at the edge applications in austere environments. With Sparrow x86, Systel has enhanced it’s Sparrow-Strike ultra-small-form-factor product line, offering dual architectures (NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Intel x86 SMARC CPU) within the same chassis design.
In this interview with Military Embedded Systems, Aneesh Kothari, President of Systel, discusses Sparrow-Strike and shows Systel’s live booth demo, with a Sparrow-Strike system completely submerged and running an AI algorithm (dubbed Operation Sunken Sparrow).
Systel is honored to receive the Four-Star Best in Show award (highest level award) from Military Embedded Systems for Sparrow-Strike.
