Core Systems Launches ATMOS-2: A Tactical Edge Node for Next Generation Command and Control

Core Systems Logo

Core Systems, a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of rugged computing systems, today announced the release of the ATMOS-2 Tactical Edge Node.  The second generation of the groundbreaking ATMOS server platform.  The ATMOS 2 is a next generation tactical edge computer built for command and control (C2) operations at the tactical edge. The ATMOS-2 delivers unmatched compute performance in a compact, mission-ready chassis, offering up to 144 physical Intel® Xeon® cores, an onboard NVIDIA GPU acceleration card and built in battery UPS.

Designed for rapid deployment and multi-domain operations, the ATMOS-2 edge node serves as a high-density compute node for distributed command posts, autonomous platforms, and mobile operations centers. Built to MIL-STD-810H specifications, the unit is engineered to operate in harsh, contested environments while maintaining persistent compute, AI inferencing, and real-time data processing capabilities.

Mission-Focused Hardware for Multi-Enclave Operations

Each node features the ATMOS Chassis Rail System allowing for the integration of multiple nodes without an outer transit case. Allowing operators to scale compute and performance across multiple enclaves. The system runs independently or in mesh with other nodes, enabling seamless data flow across C5ISR assets and ground stations.

Key technical highlights include:

  • 64, 96 or 144 physical Intel® Xeon® CPU cores
  • Up to 2TB ECC RAM per node
  • 4x NVMe hot-swap SSDs
  • Integrated NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPU, with support for NVIDIA Blackwell 4000 GPUs
  • Onboard UPS battery backup for sustained operation on-the-move
  • Native 24–28VDC power input, optimized for vehicle and airborne platforms
  • Fully rugged MIL-STD-810H chassis
  • Under 14 pounds with a 3.5” profile

Built for Operational Superiority at the Tactical Edge

The ATMOS-2 Edge Node is engineered to meet the demands of expeditionary computing, unmanned systems, and AI-driven battlefield applications. It supports multi-domain mission profiles, including ISR, fire control, and autonomous targeting. With power draw under 500W, the unit provides data center-class performance in a power-efficient, deployable form factor.

Environmental and Reliability Certifications

The ATMOS-2 Edge Node meets the following standards:

  • MIL-STD-810H for temperature, vibration, altitude, and shock
  • MIL-STD-461F for EMI/EMC (with optional filter)
  • TPM 2.0 module for hardware-based security
  • Optional conformal coating for high-humidity environments
