I love it when the term "military standard" or "military spec" gets thrown around.
If you want a company with a long history of making industrial computers then Onlogic[1] just released a raspberry pi box.
Onlogic used to be called logicsupply and they've made industrial and fanless computers for rough operating environments for many years.

- amelius 5y agoThe case may be rugged, but the connectors/sockets are still a weak spot.
- numpad0 5y agoCurtiss-Wright is a legit defense aerospace company though…
- fsagx 5y agoIndeed. Can't have a better aero pedigree than that. The Wright in Curtiss-Wright are THOSE Wrights.
- ckozlowski 5y agoAnd Curtiss is that Curtiss. Always fascinating to me how two rivals ended up with their companies merged together: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Curtiss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Curtiss
- INTPenis 5y agooic, I had no idea what it was. Thought it was some guy named Curtis and his blog tbh.
- colechristensen 5y agoThey built a box to put a raspberry pi compute module in that meets certain standards, this isn't some shitty amazon product putting that label on but an actual product targeted towards the defense market.
- O5vYtytb 5y agoHeh, these aren't just hot terms that are willy-nilly thrown around like "cloud" or "serverless". > The unit meets stringent MIL-STD / DO-160 environmental standards (MIL-STD-704F, MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-STD-461F, and RTCA/DO-160 for civil and military use) These are legitimate standards that have strict specifications.
