Spectra Defense Technologies has introduced a rugged network-attached storage (NAS) system designed for military platforms operating in size-, weight-, and power-constrained environments.
The system, called the G2 Ultra Rugged microNAS, is built to capture, store, and transfer large volumes of mission data from multiple onboard sensors.
Built for High-Throughput, Constrained Environments
According to Spectra, the G2 is designed to handle multiple high-bandwidth sensor streams within a compact, rugged form factor.
It integrates four 10-gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling simultaneous data capture without external switching hardware.
The system can operate as both a data recorder and an edge computing node, supporting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance as well as autonomous operations.
It uses removable NVMe (high-speed) storage modules with capacities up to 16 terabytes, allowing rapid data offload between missions.
The G2 is built to meet defense environmental requirements, with IP66 and IP67 ratings for dust and water resistance. It also includes multi-layer full-disk encryption aligned with cybersecurity requirements for US and allied forces.
Spectra said the system builds on its G1 line, which has been deployed on platforms including autonomous underwater vehicles, uncrewed surface vessels, ground-based radar systems, combat aircraft, and space systems.
