Aitech to Debut New A230 Vortex AI GPGPU Supercomputer, Demonstrating Real-Time Pattern of Life Analysis and Asset Detection at the Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering & Technology Symposium (GVSETS) & Modernization Update

Aitech announced the Aitech A230 Vortex AI GPGPU (general-purpose computing on graphics processing units) supercomputer, a first-of-its-kind AI-on-the-edge solution. Designed to support military operations across all environments, the A230 is available in both conduction- and forced-air-cooled variants, making it suitable for sea, land, and air platforms. Its counterpart, the S-A2300, is radiation-tolerant and specifically designed for operation in harsh Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space environments.

The A230 Vortex offers AI-on-the-edge computing with near-real-time pattern of life analysis and actionable intelligence, enabling more intelligent decision-making and optimizing the Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA) loop, even in contested and disconnected environments.

In today’s increasingly complex battlespaces, giving warfighters an advantage means identifying critical datapoints for split-second decision-making. When equipped with the A230, ground vehicle operators can receive alerts within seconds if the GPGPU detects unusual objects or deviations in the surrounding environment, empowering the driver and crew with real-time intelligence to make faster, more informed decisions.

“As the need for smarter, faster and more adaptive technologies grows, ultimately to improve and accelerate the OODA loop, the focus is on AI solutions to help make critical decisions in real time; intelligent systems that can think and react quickly, no matter where they’re deployed or what conditions they face,” said Pratish Shah, U.S. general manager, Aitech. “The combination of Aitech’s AI supercomputer and partner Intuidex’s Watchman Analytics™ offers a breakthrough in delivering real-time insight for more accurate decisions within seconds and improved effectiveness of actions, making it a valuable asset for military ground vehicles and beyond.”

The new solution ensures that military operations are agile, precise, and responsive, leading to better overall mission outcomes through new capabilities leveraging Watchman Analytics, including:

• Unmatched Situational Awareness: Provides data fusion, extraction, analysis, monitoring, and search capabilities for advanced situational awareness, leveraging multiple sources of intelligence data, correlation, prediction, forecasting, and pattern of life and anomaly detection.
• Autonomous Warfighter Protection: Optimizes force readiness and safeguards warfighters with advanced target recognition and signal processing
• Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Uses real-time pattern of life analysis and actionable intelligence to deliver enhanced asset detection and classification to support more thoughtful decision-making; accommodates multiple data sources, including imagery, while simultaneously running threat detection algorithms.
• Mission Agnostic: Dynamically updates incident, event, object, or threat detection priorities to meet ever-changing mission needs; supports the rapid identification of anomalies, shields communication and control systems from breaches for rapid response
• Communications and Networking: Manages high-speed processing and learning algorithms directly on board, adapting to changing situations without relying on a constant connection to command centers to prioritize traffic, reduce delays, and improve decision-making on the ground to connect and protect the warfighter

The A230 AI Supercomputer is now available in an active fan-cooled option specifically designed to support the environmental requirements of today’s military ground vehicle applications. Internal fans offer active cooling to help dissipate heat efficiently, ensuring the system can support prolonged operations with intense computational demands in environments with temperature extremes. Meanwhile, the fanless conduction-cooled A230 variant efficiently dissipates heat through heatsinks, fins, and chassis-integrated cold plates, making it ideal for tightly sealed systems where active airflow isn’t an option.
