OSS - OSS to Design and Manufacture New Video Concentrator for U.S. Army 360-Degree Visualization Systems Using the Leading GPU Platform for Embedded Applications | Benzinga
ESCONDIDO, Calif., March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Stop Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSS), a leader in rugged high performance compute (HPC) for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and sensor processing at the edge, today announced a new purchase order from the U.S. Army to design and manufacture a video concentrator.
This new video concentrator will be incorporated into the rugged 360-degree visualization compute system that OSS is designing and building for U.S. Army land vehicles, including the Stryker, Bradley and Abrams. This new order expands the company's scope on the visualization system that OSS originally announced in February 2023.
The vehicle visualization system uses OSS PCIe Gen 4 switch fabric technology and the same leading ARM CPU and GPU platform for autonomous machines and embedded applications used in the previously announced system. The OSS solution with the latest ARM/GPU system-on-modules now comprises everything from the sensor to the vehicle crew, including the sensor compute, low latency switching, crew compute and high-resolution display workloads.
The latest win increases the million-dollar design opportunity generated last year related to the visualization system. The system is projected to move to vehicle application and fielding upon successful completion and testing of the system in 2025. OSS will work closely with the U.S. Army to deliver prototypes of the new system in 2024.
The new video concentrator will add enhanced capabilities to the system. It will be able to rapidly ingest and process large amounts of video information including Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL2) or other High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) compressed camera data. The data will then be disseminated throughout the vehicle to the crew computers over PCI Express at up to six times greater speed and 800 times lower latency than traditional Ethernet networking.
While the video concentrator will be used initially by the U.S. Army for the 360-degree visualization system, it can be used for a variety of other AI applications that incorporate sensor fusion, including threat detection, friend/foe identification, and natural language processing for crew assist.
