Concurrent, today announced the launch of Huey, its new 3-slot rugged compute system engineered to deliver high-performance edge processing for land and air defence platforms.
Defence environments are evolving rapidly. From ground-based vehicles to airborne ISR pods, platforms are becoming more autonomous and sensor-rich, driving the need for compute-intensive systems that can keep pace with increasing data demands. The challenge? Integrating powerful processing into platforms that must withstand harsh conditions, support flexible mission profiles, and stay operational with minimal downtime.
Huey is the answer.
The compact 3U system supports both digital and mixed-signal RF payloads, enabling integration of software-defined radios, RF front-ends, and digital acquisition systems for applications such as ISR radar and signals intelligence. Its ATR tray mounting aligns with industry standards, allowing rapid integration across multiple platform types while reducing certification effort—critical for airborne applications.
What sets Huey apart is its external fan housing, which allows field maintenance without breaking internal environmental seals. This unique design enables wash-down capabilities, simplifies servicing, and reduces downtime—keeping critical missions on track even in extreme environments. Huey also supports a wide range AC input power feature supporting 90-264VAC at 50-400 Hz.
Engineered to meet MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-704 qualifications, Huey offers:
- Mission-ready compute for both land and air domains
- Reduced downtime through rapid field servicing
- Flexible RF and compute integration for evolving mission needs
“Huey was built to adapt, survive, and deliver where other systems fall short,” said Michael Harden, VP Systems at Concurrent. “With its combination of modularity, ruggedness, and easy maintainability, Huey empowers defence teams to keep pace with fast-changing mission requirements while staying operational in the toughest conditions.”
