Thermite® TVC-2 Model 3500/3520

Vehicle Computing Solved

Vehicle-based computing is demanding. Tackling battlefield conditions requires high-performance computing (HPC) power and ruggedness all-in-one. The Thermite® TVC-2.0 series of tactical visual computers are designed for vehicle-based applications delivering state-of-the-art embedded computing, mobile graphics, extended environment packaging, and conduction cooling in one package.

The Thermite TVC-2.0 Difference

Designed as a rugged computer for video or sensor signal processing, the Thermite TVC-2 Model 3500 is a compact, self-contained computer that allows rapid migration of PC-based applications from desktop environments to field-ready deployments in military tanks, aircraft, maritime and other vehicles. Emphasis is on 2D/3D graphics, accelerated video capture for sensor or camera input, and video-intensive C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) as well as field-based training, mission planning, mission rehearsal, weapon system control, maintenance, and other augmented reality simulations.

The Thermite TVC-2.0 models 3500/3520 embedded computers deliver mobility, moderate power consumption, ruggedness, and visualization performance for all your vehicle computing needs. The Thermite TVC-2.0 series deliver mobile graphics, conduction cooling, and support for open architecture operating systems, striking the perfect balance between affordability and performance for vehicle-mounted applications.

Lightweight Vehicle-Mounted Computing

The Thermite TVC-2.0 brings the power of PC workstations to the battlefield—for deployment on tanks, M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV), Bradley Fighting Vehicles, aircraft, maritime, or other manned or unmanned vehicles. The Thermite TVC-2.0 is ideal for field-based training, mission planning, mission rehearsal, weapon system control, maintenance, and embedded computing applications such as heads-up/heads-down and digital map displays. The Thermite TVC-2.0 sets the embedded computing standard for vehicle mounted applications.
