Keeping U.S. warfighters prepared on the battlefield, at sea or in the sky is highly complex, requiring DOD to work with outside contractors to procure hundreds if not thousands of systems to effectively meet its needs. These top-tier prime contractors then team with myriad subcontractors to help complete the work. For more than 35 years, General Micro Systems (GMS) was one of those subcontractors, helping to build rugged, high-density, high-performance, conduction-cooled computing systems for military applications.

General Micro Systems Inc. (GMS) recently announced that the U.S. Army will exclusively deploy powerful rugged server and display systems from GMS to run the multifunction video display (MVD) software within Type II medium mine protection vehicles (MMPV). The GMS system comprises four components — two chassis and two displays. It also includes an enterprise-class, ultrarugged, secure server with an intelligent 12-port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch, a router, mass-media storage, CITV/DVR, video-over-IP, and two ultra-thin, rugged smart-panel PCs. When coupled with a video encoder, the system is a complete full motion video and control system with storage.
