*Result*: Rugged computers struggle with environmental requirements.
*Further Information*
*The article discusses the challenges faced by rugged computers in meeting environmental requirements, particularly in size, ruggedization, and thermal management. Military applications are driving the demand for advanced capabilities like artificial intelligence and machine learning in rugged computers. Various enabling technologies such as ARM microprocessors and GPGPUs are being utilized, but design challenges in size, weight, power consumption, and thermal management persist. Initiatives like the Replicator program aim to develop affordable AI-equipped uncrewed vehicles for military applications. Industry standards like SOSA and MOSA are crucial for enhancing performance and facilitating rapid technology insertion in rugged computers. [Extracted from the article]
