Designed for ISR ingestion of camera data in a long-range, medium-altitude drone, the RS304FM is ideally suited for high-performance computing that requires networking, data manipulation, and fast storage. This 3U rugged server with 12 removable SATA drives offers multiple hardware RAID options for data storage capacity and versatile redundancy. Equipped with four 10GbE ports, the system provides low latency video capture and processing. An integrated elapsed-time indicator monitors logistics and operational needs while a patented DIMM retention method ensures reliable performance in unstable air and landing regimes. Optional TPM and DAR features create high-side security options in the event of unexpected interruptions in flight. The RS304FM uses military circular connections for power and data, and includes a 50 ms power holdup capability required for airborne platform performance.
