Concurrent Launches Bragi: High-Performance GPGPU Card Built with NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture

Concurrent announced the release of Bragi, a rugged 3U OpenVPX GPGPU processing card in partnership with EIZO Rugged Solutions. Bragi combines the latest NVIDIA RTX™ PRO 4000 and 5000 GPUs, based on the new Blackwell architecture, with the proven reliability and integration support that customers expect from Concurrent.

Bragi is designed for demanding C5ISR and HPEC applications requiring high-performance AI processing at the edge. It is fully SOSA® aligned and supports both conduction-cooled and air-flow-through variants, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained and thermally challenging environments.

Miles Adcock, CEO, said: “We’ve developed our partnership with EIZO Rugged Solutions over many years, and are delighted that we have the rare ability to sell their flagship AI-enabling product as one of our own. In addition to enhancing our portfolio, this is highly reassuring to customers who wish to be confident that the elements of a system will work flawlessly together. We’ve invested in the technical ability to deeply integrate and support the GPGPUs from EIZO Rugged Solutions as part of our ongoing mission to provide customers with the very latest technology.”

Bragi’s design addresses the requirements of modern defence and aerospace platforms, particularly those balancing advanced AI workloads with SWaP constraints and legacy system compatibility. Built around Blackwell architecture, the product delivers up to 1,824 FP4 AI TOPS, enhanced video encoding/decoding, and high-bandwidth memory access via PCIe Gen 5 and GDDR7 ECC memory.
