Integrated Processing Computers

Collins Aerospace’s integrated processing computers are designed for and proven in the harshest military environments. Each of the three available models (IPC-8300, IPC-8600A and IPC-9000) offers internal graphics generation and processing, including cropping, scaling and repositioning. The IPCs each include provisions for system expansion and external Ethernet port connectivity.

IPC-8300

  • Leverages commercial open standards, featuring a high-integrity Ethernet switch, a commercial Ethernet switch, and a POSIX-compliant, partitioned operating system with modular-layered software architecture.
  • Open architecture allows for the integration of third-party hardware and software into a single unit.
  • Key components include an X86 processor, a PowerPC-based general-purpose processor, and an integrated graphics engine with multiple SMPTE-292 digital video outputs.

IPC-9000

  • Robust mission processor built for the most rugged military environments, featuring commercial open standards and an integrated Ethernet switch.
  • Open architecture supports hosting third-party hardware and software within a single unit, offering flexibility and customization.
  • Key components include X86 processors, a PowerPC-based general-purpose processor, and an integrated graphics engine with multiple SMPTE-292 digital video outputs.
