The 18 Slot Rugged Test and Deploy System from LCR Embedded Systems delivers a modular, high-power computing and electronics integration platform engineered for mission-critical unmanned systems operating in extreme environments. Designed around dual 8-slot backplanes with provisions for VITA 62 power supplies, this unit supports intensive payload configurations with up to four MIL-compliant power modules, accommodating both MIL-STD-704E and MIL-STD-1275 requirements for airborne and vehicle platforms. With a robust structural envelope measuring up to 10.5 inches in height and a compact 19.5-inch depth including handles and thermal interfaces, the system is optimized for deployment in SWaP-sensitive applications where footprint and ruggedization are critical.

Capable of handling over 1000 watts of thermal design power at operational altitudes up to 15,000 feet, and maintaining efficient thermal management even at 30,000 feet with a 500-watt load, this chassis ensures stability under high computational or signal processing loads. With a lightweight frame of approximately 35 to 40 pounds excluding mission payloads, the system enables scalable test environments or fielded operations without compromising on cooling performance or backplane density. Ideal for real-time processing, sensor fusion, or edge AI, it is built to streamline both lab validation and forward deployment of embedded mission systems.
