Multi-Modal Edge Processor

Twenty-Six Defense Maritime offers real-time, high-performance computational solutions that live right on the platform. For the Multi-Modal Edge Processor, we select the mix of hardware, software and firmware that rapidly crunches high-volume imagery data, optimizing performance rather than raw computational throughput. Be it a plane, satellite, or even a Group II unmanned aircraft system, we develop a tailored solution that delivers powerful data processing in a low-SWaP package.

KEY FEATURES

• Ultra-lightweight: 33 oz (940 grams)
• Low power consumption: 46 watts
• Optimized mix of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and deep learning accelerators
• Custom-tailored software and firmware

Onboard processing rates

• Wide-area motion imagery - up to 1 billion pixels per second
• LIDAR returns - at up to 6 billion points per second
• Hyperspectral bands - up to 3 million spectra per second

MISSION FLEXIBILITY

Due to its small size and enormous power, the Multi-Modal Edge Processor can be integrated within a variety of airborne and space-based sensors, allowing it to support an almost endless number of mission sets.
