Aitech Systems is a private company that provides rugged embedded computing solutions for defense, aerospace, space, and industrial applications. The company is headquartered in Chatsworth, California, with engineering and operations facilities in Israel and India. Aitech develops AI-enabled, cybersecure, and radiation-hardened platforms designed to operate in extreme environments.
Its product line includes both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and custom systems that meet various military and space-grade standards.
History
Aitech was established in 1983 and is noted for developing VMEbus-based embedded computers for mission-critical environments. It was among the first to offer space-qualified VMEbus boards, which enabled modular computing systems for spacecraft. The company has participated in the development of VME standards through its involvement with the VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA).
Aitech was selected by Boeing to provide the crew interface system computer and displays for the CST-100 spacecraft, part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, enabling astronauts to control spacecraft attitude, altitude, and orientation during missions to the International Space Station.[1] The CST-100 is designed to carry up to seven passengers or a combination of crew and cargo to low-Earth orbit destinations.
The company has also supplied space-grade computing solutions for Boeing and NASA’s CST manned spacecraft program.[2]
Products and Solutions
Aitech manufactures embedded computing systems for applications in space, air, land, and sea environments. Its offerings include:
- Radiation-hardened systems for space missions
- AI-enabled edge computing using high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) and GPGPU architectures
- Command and Data Handling (C&DH) systems for spacecraft
- Mission computers, operator displays, and power distribution units for defense use
- Launch and fire control systems for tactical platforms
- Modular computing systems built to MIL-STD and SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) requirements
Notable Products
- SP1 Radiation-Tolerant SBC – A 3U OpenVPX single-board computer for space missions[3]
- S-A2300 Space AI Supercomputer – Based on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial, designed for onboard AI processing[4]
