Trenton Systems - TAC Mission Computers
A family of fanless, durable, SWaP-C optimized small form factor mission computers providing maximum ruggedization, processing, storage, and security at the edge across the modern, multidomain battlespace.
- Ready for Extremes - Lightweight, sealed, and designed to operate between -40°C and +70°C in harsh environments
- Military-grade Connectors - Protect against dust, dirt, debris, and water as well as electromagnetic interference
- Zero-trust Architected - Hardware-based security measures encrypt and isolate data as it is being processed.
The TAC is a truly made-in-USA, small-formfactor, embedded, passive-cooled, sealed mission computer based on the COM Express Type 7 architecture.
Designed with tomorrow’s warfighters and servicemembers in mind, as well as the various tactical air, sea, land, space, and cyber environments they encounter daily, the TAC is ruggedized and secured with the latest hardware, firmware, and software security technologies adherent to DaR requirements, NIST, and CSfC.
