General Micro Systems Achieves Two 2023 Military and Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards
Recognized as platinum honors for superior innovation with the X9 Spider AI System and X9 Spider Manpack
WASHINGTON, October 31, 2023—(BUSINESS WIRE)–General Micro Systems (GMS) announced today that it is X9 Spider AI system and X9 Spider Man Pack were recognized as the best of 2023 Military and Space Electronics Innovators Awards program. These awards were developed to showcase the most innovative solutions in aerospace and defense products and systems for the engineering industry. GMS products have received platinum awards that are characterized by an innovative approach to meeting a need and/or a new level of performance, efficiency, ease of use or other useful quality.
“The X9 Spider AI System is the smallest and only portable/mobile robust AI engine that can directly interface with – and even power – so many smart touch interfaces simultaneously,” said Ben Sharfi, CEO and Chief Architect, GMS . “The X9 Manpack is the world’s smallest fully ruggedized mission computer with massive I/O expansion and part of the X9 Spider open Distributed Computing Architecture (DCA). We are honored to be recognized for our innovation and technological advancements in both products. Objectively, each represents some of the best technology found anywhere in our industry.”
The X9 Spider AI system is based on NVIDIA® AGX Jetson Orin GPU SoC and includes high-speed sensor interfaces to CameraLink, 3G-SDI, CoaXPress, USB 3.2, 1Gb Ethernet, 10Gb Ethernet and 100Gb Ethernet. All of these interfaces can receive high-bandwidth data from sensors simultaneously, and the X9 Spider AI system can handle it in real time. Powering via CoaXPress and 10Gb Ethernet means that a single cable will connect a sensor and power it, saving on complex wiring, weight and separate sensor power supplies. In addition, GMS’s rugged mezzanine carriers (RMC) uniquely enable additional I/O, storage, co-processing and other customer-specific functions, making the product extremely flexible and small enough for portable or embedded use. An example is the addition of Sidekiq SDR modules, making the X9 AI handheld sensor processor and software-defined radio ideal for portable AI-enabled EW/SIGINT applications.
Powered by a standard soldier battery, the X9 Spider Manpack mobile computer is designed for dismounted soldiers and marines who need high-performance processing on the go, communications, video, database access and artificial intelligence (AI). Designed from the ground up to offer the most computing power and I/O in the smallest battery-powered package with the lightest weight, the X9 Spider Manpack can drive up to four body displays, such as the X9 Rugged Thunderbolt Display; connecting to wireless LANs and personal area networks (PANs); uplink to mounted assets such as vehicles or command posts; store up to 20TB of on-board data and connect to high-speed body sensors while processing embedded AI algorithms such as image/face recognition, target tracking or sensor fusion. GMS is also developing other soldier-worn technology to accompany the X9 Manpack.
The 2023 Innovator Award winners are selected by a qualified panel of judges selected by the editorial staff of Military & Aerospace Electronics.
