Kontron, a provider of embedded computing technology, has had its COBALT computer selected by Data Device Corporation (DDC). The company will use the system as a small form factor for its Rugged Avionics Interface Computer.

The COBALT platform, according to the company, provides a robust, 1P67 fully sealed and compact system for optimal computing performance of DDC's aerospace and defense applications. It is based on Kontron's COM (computer-on-modules) Express Type 6 and measures at 8.5 x 5.5 x 3.9 in.

“We value DDC’s long-standing reputation in the avionics market.  Their leadership position aligns well with Kontron’s priorities in serving this growing and evolving arena.  With our deep market knowledge, Kontron stands ready to actively support DDC with COBALT and our other proven systems.  Our goal is to give DDC a competitive advantage from the ability to use and reuse platforms, enabling sophisticated avionics performance while reducing long-term costs and development resources for its customers,” said Eric Sivertson, executive vice president, Avionics, Transportation and Defense (ATD) Business Unit, Kontron.
