The Advanced Mission Computer (AMC) is a leading-edge, flexible and rugged processing product family that can be readily configured to meet the general purpose, I/O, video, voice, and graphics processing needs of modern military systems. Built upon a well-defined open systems architecture to allow rapid insertion of emerging technologies, the AMC leverages commercial-off-the-shelf technology, non-developmental item products, and proven expertise in application-specific requirements to provide high-performance, state-of-the-art computing resources for lab use or in harsh avionics, ground-based and shipboard environments.
Because of its configurability and flexibility, the AMC can be used efficiently in a variety of applications ranging from embedded module functions to full-scale multi-computer configurations. Some of the general areas to which the AMC can be applied include mission processing, display processing, stores management, and information management.
