A230 Vortex
The A230 Vortex is a rugged AI supercomputer that uses the most powerful NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial System-on-Module (SoM) currently available for high-performance military systems. With its compact size, the A230 Vortex is the most advanced embedded computer for AI, deep learning, and video and signal processing in distributed systems that need to reliably operate in remote, harsh conditions.
Optimizing the full performance of the Ampere™ GPU, the new rugged HPEC system provides up to 2048 CUDA® cores and 64 Tensor cores that reach up to 248 TOPS at a remarkable level of energy efficiency. The system also features two scalable, highly configurable, dedicated NVDLA (NVIDIA Deep-Learning Accelerator) engines that simplify integration and portability as well as promote a standard way to design deep learning inference accelerators. The SWaP-optimized A230 Vortex is ideal for applications requiring powerful processing including autonomous, surveillance, and advanced weapons systems.
