Concurrent launches Apollo: compact, rugged edge computing for modern defence missions
August 2025
Concurrent, a leader in embedded computing solutions, has launched Narvi, a rugged XMC form factor GPGPU and graphics processing card developed in collaboration with EIZO Rugged Solutions.
Powered by the latest NVIDIA RTX™ PRO 2000 and 500 Blackwell GPUs, Narvi delivers cutting-edge AI acceleration, real-time video capture, and advanced display processing in a compact, low-SWaP module designed for today’s most demanding defence and aerospace applications.
Engineered for defence, aerospace, and ISR applications, Narvi combines next-generation GPU power with rugged reliability, enabling real-time sensor processing, situational awareness, and AI workloads at the edge. The XMC cards can also serve as AI/ML/GPGPU coprocessors for single-board computers that lack such functionality, dramatically boosting their processing performance without requiring redesign. This capability allows integrators to unlock advanced AI and parallel computing workloads on existing platforms, delivering meaningful impact in space- and power-constrained environments.
“With Narvi, we’re giving mission system designers access to the full power of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs in environments where size, weight, and power are critical,” said Brent Salgat, Chief Revenue Officer, Concurrent. “Building on our long-standing partnership with EIZO Rugged Solutions, we’re delivering not only the latest GPU technology, but also rugged, field-proven solutions that integrate seamlessly into customer platforms.”
Key Specifications:
Built on NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 2000 or 500 GPUs (Blackwell architecture)
Up to 8 GB GDDR7 ECC graphics memory
Up to 3,328 CUDA® cores, 5th Gen Tensor Cores, 4th Gen RT Cores
PCI Express Gen 5 and 256-bit memory interface
Up to 3x DisplayPort++/DVI outputs
9th Gen NVENC encoders and 6th Gen NVDEC decoders
H.265, H.264, and AV1 codec support
NVIDIA GPUDirect® RDMA for high-bandwidth, low-latency transfers
SOSA® aligned rear I/O (compatible with 3U VPX)
Conforms to MIL-STD-810 (shock, vibration, temperature)
Concurrent and EIZO Rugged Solutions continue to partner in delivering field-proven, high-performance embedded computing solutions. Narvi joins the growing portfolio of Concurrent products, powered by EIZO Rugged Solutions, offering system integrators a greater choice, faster deployment, and long-term support for rugged GPU and video capture technologies.
Narvi is available immediately in configurations powered by RTX PRO 2000 or RTX PRO 500 Blackwell GPUs.
