NO COMPROMISE COMPUTING THAT FITS YOUR MISSION
Combine the advantages of COTS and custom with a ruggedized computer solution that exactly matches your application requirements. Built for harsh, mission critical environments, our Computer on Module (COM) based systems provide the benefits of a full custom design
while reducing time, costs and risk.
COM systems combine an off-the-shelf processor module containing the functionality common to most systems (processor, memory, graphics, USB, Ethernet, SATA) with a custom carrier board that includes application specific I/O and interface connectors. Choose from a
variety of COM form factors and processor options, all offering long-term availability and superior life cycle management.
Eliminate Moving Parts and Internal Cables for Ultimate Reliability
Our rugged systems require no fans or other rotating parts. Your OS and application software run from solid-state disk, eliminating rotating hard drives and resulting in true solid-state operation. Sealevel COM systems also eliminate a common source of failure:
internal cables. Perfect for high-vibration applications, COM architecture allows the custom carrier board to be designed to the desired mechanical dimensions with I/O connectors soldered directly to the carrier board providing external access with no internal cables.
CASE STUDY: Military Laptop Docking Station
Sealevel designed and manufactures a docking station for a rugged laptop used by the U.S. military for diagnostics and maintenance of vehicles and aircraft.
Application Requirements
• Optical Drive
• Modem
• Parallel Printer Port
• RS-232 Port
• Replaceable Battery with Smart Charge Circuitry
• 85-264VAC Power Input, 47-440Hz
• Cast Magnesium Enclosure
• MIL-STD for Shock, Vibration, Moisture, EMC, Radiated Emissions, and Safety
Sealevel created the dock design and managed all compliance testing to meet an extensive list of MIL-STDs and other key requirements. Our electrical team designed six PCBs to accommodate the I/O requirements in the mechanical envelope available. The complex mechanical assemblies were created in SolidWorks through a collaborative effort between Sealevel, our customer, and the vendor selected to fabricate the tooling and produce the finished cast magnesium enclosure parts. Once prototypes were available, Sealevel test engineers conducted field and laboratory testing to guarantee compliance with the customer’s specifications.
