Abaco Systems Launches MAGIC2 Next-Gen High-Performance Modular Mission Computer

HUNTSVILLE, AL., September 3, 2025 – Abaco Systems proudly announces the launch of the MAGIC2, a high-performance, modular mission computer designed for rugged computing in aerospace and defense applications. The MAGIC2 is a 3U VPX two-slot line replaceable unit (LRU) that features options for Intel Xeon and Core i7 CPUs with NVIDIA RTX ADA5000 and A2000 GPUs, delivering exceptional compute and AI capabilities in a low SWaP-C3 form factor.

Aligned with SOSA® and MOSA standards, MAGIC2 offers extensive customization options for CPU, GPU, XMC, I/O, cooling and memory—making it ideal for mission-critical applications such as situational awareness, data/radar processing, video processing (EO/IR), classification and artificial intelligence.

Key Features of the MAGIC2:

  • 2 slot modular 3U VPX LRU with customizable CPU, GPU, XMC, I/O PSU and cooling configurations
  • Intel Core i7 13th Gen or Xeon W 11th Gen CPUs
  • NVIDIA RTX ADA5000, A2000, or Quadro P2000 GPUs
  • MOSA and SOSA® aligned modules
  • Pin-compatible I/O panels for MAGIC1 / MAGIC1A customers
  • Removable SSD storage up to 8TB with fast purge
  • VITA 62 300W power supply
  • MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, DO-160G qualified
  • Linux and Windows OS support
  • Fan, Fin, and Finless cooling options

“The MAGIC2 system represents a leap forward in modular mission computing,” said Simon Collins, Director of Product Management at Abaco Systems. “Its off-the-shelf modularity and high-performance compute capabilities make it a compelling solution for aerospace and defense platforms requiring scalable, rugged and future-proofed systems. Also, the wide range of component options allows users to tailor performance to their mission requirements.”

The new MAGIC2 is also available in multiple preconfigured variants, including:

  • Echo: Intel Xeon W + ADA5000, General I/O
  • Delta: Core i7 + A2000 GPU, Avionics I/O, 3G-SDI
  • Charlie: Core i7 + A2000 GPU, Avionics I/O
  • Bravo: Core i7 + P2000 XMC, MAGIC1A I/O compatible, 3G-SDI
  • Alpha: Dual Xeon W + P2000 XMC, Avionics I/O, 3G-SDI
