For engineers designing or refreshing platforms under SOSA\/VITA 65 requirements, Aitech\u2019s expanded SBC range gives another qualified, franchised source of compliant compute modules with an established production track record \u2014 relevant wherever a programme needs assured multi-year supply continuity rather than a one-off board buy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay ahead on electronics news<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astutegroup.com\/newsletter-sign-up\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">electronics industry Astute Engineer newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new SBCs extend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astutegroup.com\/services\/franchise-electronics\/franchise-lines\/aitech\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aitech\u2019s<\/a> rugged portfolio into higher-performance edge processing, aimed at platforms that need SOSA-aligned compute density without compromising on ruggedisation for shock, vibration, and thermal extremes typical of airborne and vehicle-mounted defence systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For procurement teams, the $63M contract is also a useful signal of Aitech\u2019s production capacity and backlog \u2014 worth factoring into lead-time conversations for any near-term SBC or HAL hardware requirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next step: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astutegroup.com\/about\/contact\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">contact Astute<\/a> for current lead times and franchised pricing on the new A230 Vortex, C165, and U-C8600 SBC lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0Defence, Aerospace, General Aitech Systems, a franchised Astute manufacturer of rugged embedded computing for defence and aerospace, has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,46,125],"class_list":["post-581161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
