Challenges: Deploying AI, virtualization, and other data-intensive applications wherever they’re needed. To help safeguard both military personnel and civilians, defense systems must power complex multi-domain applications and deliver real-time intelligence as it unfolds. 
This paradigm calls for highly sophisticated edge compute systems equipped with the performance and bandwidth to rapidly process artificial intelligence (AI), graphics, and other data-intensive applications whether on land, at sea, in the air, or in space. In addition to operating in remote and austere locations, typically with limited or no infrastructure, defense systems must perform optimally under extreme and unpredictable environmental conditions.
