Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomous

We take a look back at a hugely productive year for the Systel team, from new products to growing our global footprint, as well as exciting industry events. 2024 was a year of many achievements, underpinned by the hard work and dedication from the Systel family, and here we review some of our most exciting moments and wider industry trends.

Systel’s Sparrow-Strike x86 ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) compute at the edge product was awarded the 4-Star Best in Show Award by Military Embedded Systems at the 2024 Annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference. Sparrow-Strike x86 received the highest level award in the Embedded Computing category.

The conflict in Ukraine and Russia’s aggression towards NATO has lit a spark for European defense, providing critical focus for countries and political blocs, including the European Union (EU). The dangerous geopolitical environment Europe now finds itself in has ushered in a new era of defense spending and a renewed focus on modernization, particularly in land systems. In this blog, we look at how Europe is now responding to its biggest existential threat for a generation and modernizing its land capabilities.

As with any technology that is new and potentially revolutionary, there’s always a concern about the negative impacts it could have on people and wider societies. That’s no different for AI, and there is an understandable concern surrounding this technology as it develops and its use becomes more widespread.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming a number of industries in today's fast-paced digital world, from manufacturing and transportation to healthcare and finance. The most promising development in AI is called "Edge AI." However, what precisely is Edge AI, and why is it growing so important in today's tech ecosystem? We'll explore the idea of Edge AI, its advantages, and how it's revolutionizing global businesses in this blog article.

As computer processing advances further and artificial intelligence (AI) is deployed on more systems at the edge, including those pioneered by Systel, then the autonomous capabilities of drones will only advance further. One example of how autonomy and AI will underpin new drone tactics is swarming, where multiple UAS will work collaboratively together to perform a mission with limited human input.

Most commercial industries are seeing a rise in the use of autonomous systems, and as technology gets more widely available, so does the need for industrial tough solutions. This blog gives insight on the demands for autonomy from business and industrial domains, and looks at how Systel contributes to the delivery of cutting-edge rugged computing to meet these sectors' goals for autonomy.

Systel’s Sparrow-Strike ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) MIL-SPEC rugged edge processor was awarded the 4-Star Best in Show Award by Military Embedded Systems at the 2023 Annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference. Sparrow-Strike received the highest level award in the Embedded Computing category.

Systel, an industry leader in rugged computing announced the product introduction of Sparrow-Strike at the 2023 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition. Sparrow-Strike is an ultra-small-form-factor (USFF) MIL-SPEC rugged edge mission computer. 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.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two terms that often go hand in hand, sparking both curiosity and confusion among the tech industry. While both are essential components of the modern tech landscape, it’s crucial to understand their fundamental differences. Let’s dive into the contrast between AI and ML and better understand how they contribute to shaping our world.

ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot built on the GPT-3 large natural language model, has taken the world by storm since OpenAI launched it in November 2022. The underlying natural language model and technology powering ChatGPT has immense potential to revolutionize AI on the battlefield.

Kite-Strike II has been named Product of the Week by Military Embedded Systems. Kite-Strike II is the world's first fully rugged NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute solution, providing next-gen performance and robust capabilities for edge AI and autonomous mission-critical applications.
