Integrated Mission Computing represents a new approach to developing and implementing rugged computing systems. It gives system integrators a new tool for their system-design tool kit. By taking a COTS, pre-qualified rugged computing platform and adjusting it to their specific mission requirements, integrators can now bring their systems to market more quickly and with lower overall development costs. As a leading worldwide embedded computer manufacturer with a strong track-record in meeting the demands of the Defense sector, Kontron is well-positioned to support systems integrators with its proven range of Integrated Mission Computing solutions.
