Overview

EIZO Rugged Solutions has spent more than three decades building video, graphics, encoding and recording hardware for defence and aerospace, and is an NVIDIA Preferred Partner for the rugged embedded market. Its Condor Thor 3U VPX series brings the NVIDIA Jetson Thor generation into the SOSA-aligned 3U OpenVPX form factor used across C5ISR, uncrewed systems and tactical sensor processing.

The family is built on the NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 system-on-module, which combines a Blackwell GPU with 2,560 CUDA cores and 96 Tensor cores with a 14-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE CPU and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory at up to 273 GB/s. That yields 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS — roughly 7.5× the AI compute of AGX Orin at 3.5× better energy efficiency. Placing both GPU and CPU inside a single 3U VPX slot is the core SWaP argument: it removes a card from the chassis while raising per-slot AI throughput.

Specific variants include the Condor T5-IOX 3U VPX SBC for robust multi-sensor ingest in tactical-edge and autonomous systems, and the IGX Thor 3U VPX SBC announced in August 2026, which applies the industrial-grade IGX Thor module to tactical AI edge processing, including large language model workloads. Boards are designed to meet OpenVPX, VITA 46/65, CMOSS and SOSA technical standards, carry 25GbE networking, and are offered in conduction- and air-cooled builds for sustained, deterministic performance in SWaP-constrained mission systems. The earlier AGX Orin 3U VPX SBC remains in the catalogue for existing programmes.
