- The SOSA® aligned 3U VPX SBCs are designed for low-latency video ingest, multi-sensor processing, and AI-accelerated computing at the Edge
Orlando, Florida – October 28th, 2025 — EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc., a leading provider of ruggedized, high-performance embedded computing solutions, announced the development of the Condor™ Thor 3U VPX series, a new family of SOSA® aligned rugged Single Board Computers (SBCs) accelerated by the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform.
The Condor™ Thor 3U VPX series is designed for real-time ISR platforms, uncrewed systems, and rugged edge computing environments where size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints and low-latency are critical. The SBC cards are engineered to ingest and process multiple ultra-high-definition video streams simultaneously, enabling multi-sensor fusion across ISR, radar, and EO/IR systems.
The NVIDIA Jetson Thor module features a NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture and a 14-core Arm® Neoverse®-V3AE CPU, supporting 128 GB of high-bandwidth LPDDR5X memory. The Blackwell architecture features 2,560 CUDA Cores and delivers up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI performance. The Jetson Thor module offers advanced edge-compute performance, AI capabilities, and multi-sensor capabilities for AI-driven autonomy applications in a compact form factor.
“The Condor Thor 3U VPX series represents a major leap forward in AI edge computing with its integrated dual-compute architecture, combining a Blackwell GPU and Arm CPU on a single module”, said Chris Fadeley, Chief Technology Officer of EIZO Rugged Solutions. “While previous Jetson offerings focused on optimizing performance per watt at lower power, Jetson Thor is an uncapped powerhouse critical for the future success of AI in HPEC systems using 3U VPX.”
The Jetson Thor platform accelerates low-latency, real-time applications with new NVIDIA Blackwell Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology and third-generation Programmable Vision Accelerators (PVA). The Condor Thor Single Board Computers will leverage these capabilities while providing high-speed I/O and video ingest options such as 12G-SDI, USB 3.2, and DisplayPort™, along with external storage support.
For data-intensive, distributed sensor environments, the solutions also feature 10GbE Gigabit Ethernet and NVIDIA Magnum IOTM GPUDirect RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), enabling rapid communication between sensors, RF transceivers, and platforms. In addition, the NVIDIA Jetson Thor SoM integrates dedicated GPU hardware accelerators for multi-stream video decoding (NVDEC) and encoding (NVENC), ensuring efficient handling of multiple ultra-high-resolution video feeds.
The Condor™ Thor 3U VPX Series is designed to meet both VITA 46/65 and SOSA® Open Architecture technical standards. The product line is currently in development, with customer engagements underway for upcoming programs.
