Reduce SWaP

The Rugged AB2000 is a family of compact, conduction or convection-cooled computers for use in demanding environments. These flexible, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices solve challenging interface, bridging and control problems, while reducing SWaP (Size, Weight and Power).

PowerPC® Processor

At the heart of the AB2000 is a user programmable PowerPC processor that can be controlled by embedded software or by a separate computer over Ethernet. The AB2000 interface hardware circuitry provides a high level of functionality which assures full use of the processor for the software application.

Built-in Interfaces

What separates the AB2000 from other embedded computers is the wide variety of built-in avionics interfaces and standard I/O in such a small package. This functionality is integral to the unit’s design to ensure the highest level of compatibility and performance.

Available interfaces include:
  • MIL-STD-1553
  • ARINC 429/575
  • ARINC 708/453
  • ARINC 717/573
  • RS-232/422/485
  • Ethernet (10/100)
  • USB 2.0 Host (High Speed)
  • Flash Storage Discrete I/O
  • PMC Expansion
Powerful Solutions

The AB2000 Series delivers outstanding performance on the ground and in the air. They are routinely deployed on helicopter, fixed wing, and ground mobile platforms in applications that include:
  • Data and protocol converter
  • Network server
  • Health monitor
  • Local/distributed control
  • Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) integration
  • Maintenance gateway
  • Data recorder
  • Ethernet switch
