New white paper: How to choose the right computing platform for military systems
Choosing the right computer platform is crucial for reliability and robustness of military systems. Military applications are exposed to extreme temperature changes, vibrations, humidity, dust and electromagnetic disturbances - which places very high demands on the hardware.
In our new white paper, we describe how you can avoid pitfalls and ensure that your platform meets real-world requirements.

Why the right computing platform is crucial in military systems
A computing platform in defence applications is more than just a technical component. It is a central part of the operational capability of the whole system. Hardware failures can lead to downtime, security risks and costly redesigns.
Three factors to focus on when choosing a platform
Robustness in the field
Military computing platforms need to operate robustly in extreme environments. This means resistance to vibration, shock, moisture, dust and wide temperature ranges.
Certifications for defence systems (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, IP)
Certifications are proof that the platform has been tested in real-world conditions.
- MIL-STD-810H: Environmental resistance (e.g. vibration, temperature, shock, humidity)
- MIL-STD-461G: Electromagnetic compatibility (emission and immunity)
- IP rating: Protection against dust and water, especially important in marine systems
Cybersecurity as an operational necessity
Digital threats are as big a risk as physical ones. Therefore, computing platforms need to have TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and encrypted storage. Upcoming EU legislation such as Cyber Resilience Act makes cybersecurity a requirement for military systems.
