Rugged Cross Domain Solutions for the Tactical Edge
Owl Rugged Cross Solutions (CDSs) bring trusted, RTB-compliant cross domain data transfer and collaboration capabilities to purpose-built low-SWaP platforms for mobile, airborne, shipboard, and forward-deployed environments.
Certified Cross Domain. Now Deployable at the Tactical Edge.
Owl Rugged CDSs combine RTB-compliant software, industry-leading rugged hardware partners, and validated mission-critical data types to deliver uncompromising cross-domain security at the tactical edge.
Thoroughly Tested. Trusted in the Field.
Owl Rugged CDSs are built to the highest compliance standard, delivering RTB-compliant, US Government-certified cross domain data exchange across defense and intelligence environments where security is paramount.
Industry-Leading Hardware. Mission-Ready Software.
Owl's RTB-compliant, NCDSMO-listed CDS software deploys on proven, industry-leading rugged platforms from Curtiss-Wright™, KLAS™ Enterprises, and Trenton Systems®, giving program offices the flexibility to choose the form factor that fits the mission without sacrificing assurance.
Mission-Critical Data. Across Every Domain.
Owl Rugged CDSs support validated transfer of Voice over IP (VoIP), Radio over IP (RoIP), full-motion video (FMV), Cursor on Target (CoT), and Team Awareness Kit (TAK) — enabling real-time collaboration and situational awareness across security boundaries at the tactical edge.
Owl CDS: Enabling Secure Data Exchange Where Missions Are Won
Built on Owl’s RTB-compliant, NCDSMO-listed CDS foundation, Owl’s rugged solutions enable the secure, real-time transfer of a broad range of mission-relevant data types across domains of varying classification levels. Validated dataflows include VoIP, RoIP, video, full-motion video (FMV), Cursor on Target (CoT), Team Awareness Kit (TAK), FIRES/VMF messaging, AI/ML outputs, and UAS telemetry and drone integration. Owl’s rugged CDS are designed for real-time operations that demand both high assurance and direct operator control over what crosses the boundary.
A Growing Ecosystem of Validated Rugged Platforms
VPX
Ideal for use as embedded mission compute inside a VPX chassis on aircraft, vehicles, ships, and unmanned platforms. 3U VPX card(s) handle sensor fusion, ISR processing, EW, and other real-time workloads as part of an integrated system.
Curtiss Wright CHAMP-XD3 3U VPX
MICRO-SERVER
Usually used in vehicles, transit cases, or small tactical kits where SWaP is tight, micro-servers are ideal for hosting a handful of critical services, local analytics, or applications that must move with the team at the edge
RACK-MOUNTED SERVER
Available in either 1x1U or 2x1U form factor, rack-mounted servers are usually used in shelters, shipboard spaces, and fixed or semi-fixed command posts where missions have 19-inch racks and power, supporting larger mission systems, data lakes, and multi-VM stacks.
