Overview
The Systel Hawk AI (model EC301A) is a rugged embedded edge AI compute platform in the Hawk-Strike line of full-size workstation-class mission computers. It pairs the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor T5000 module with 128 GB of unified LPDDR5X to run data-centre-class AI inference, computer vision and sensor fusion directly at the platform — without a backhaul link to a data centre.
Where most edge AI computers stop at industrial temperature ratings, the Hawk AI is engineered to MIL-STD-810H across temperature, vibration, shock, humidity, altitude, sand and dust, and fluid ingress, with MIL-STD-461G EMI/EMC and MIL-STD-1275E / 704F power conditioning for vehicle and airborne platforms. The chassis is a fully sealed, machined 6061-T6 aluminium enclosure with a forced-air convection path that keeps air off the electronics.
Base I/O covers two TSN-capable 2.5GbE ports, four CAN FD channels, four serial ports, GPIO, USB-C and HDMI, with PCIe Gen5 x8 and MCIO x8 expansion for 10G/25GbE networking, RF payloads or additional displays. QS Compute supplies the Hawk AI and the wider Systel rugged embedded and rackmount range to OEM and defence programmes; contact us for engineering development units, configuration and volume pricing.
Key Benefits
Workstation-class AI at the edge. Jetson AGX Thor T5000 delivers 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS with 128 GB unified memory in one sealed box. Genuinely MIL-SPEC. MIL-STD-810H, 461G, 1275E and 704F qualification in a 16 lb package. Configured for the platform, not the shelf. MOSA-based I/O, expansion and mounting options let one SKU serve vehicle, airborne and maritime programmes.
Applications
Systel Hawk AI targets C5ISR and electronic warfare workloads, unmanned and autonomous platforms, vehicle and force protection, all-domain sensor fusion, EW/SIGINT edge processing, and any industrial autonomy programme that needs generative-AI inference sealed against sand, salt and shock.
