Crystal Group, Inc., a trusted designer and manufacturer of rugged, high-performance edge compute solutions, will be debuting at AFCEA WEST later this month.

The company will debut its cutting-edge, small-form-factor embedded computer, the RE1600M, and a hyper-converged data storage solution, the RE4000.

The RE1600M is purpose-built for amphibious operations and is IP68-rated, which allows for seamless AI inferencing for applications such as unmanned surface vessels and vehicles. This rugged solution is also integrated with NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which features 2048 NVIDIA CUDA® cores and 64 tensor cores for fast and reliable data transmission.

“Our team at Crystal Group is excited and so proud to introduce the RE1600M into our portfolio,” said Jennifer Groschen-Draves, Principal Program Manager at Crystal Group. “It was designed specifically for the U.S. Navy’s unmanned surface vessel initiatives. These USVs, paired with the rugged technology provided by Crystal Group, represent a major leap forward in modern naval operations, offering improved operational capabilities, real-time data analysis, and greater mission flexibility in the most challenging maritime conditions. This new solution reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, mission-critical technology to the U.S. Navy while meeting the needs of today’s dynamic defense environment.”

The RE4000 is an Air Transport Association carry-on compliant, overhead bin packable system designed to meet any cybersecurity need for enabling data acquisition and storage in extreme environments. The unit has a flexible CPU architecture, including high-performance Intel® Xeon® 5/6 scalable processors, which excel in meeting the evolving demands of Crystal Group customers’
