7STARLAKE Launches NV500-DY Rugged AI Computer Powered by NVIDIA Jetson for Counter-UAS Applications

7STARLAKE, a leading provider of rugged military and aerospace computing solutions, today announced the launch of the NV500-DY designed for mission-critical defense operations. The NV500-DY combines NVIDIA Jetson Thor computing with a ruggedized architecture to accelerate the deployment of autonomous counter-UAS and Physical AI systems in demanding operational environments.

NVIDIA Jetson Thor: The Ultimate Platform for Defense AI

To accelerate advanced AI workloads, the NV500-DY integrates the NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000, built on the Blackwell architecture and featuring 2,560 CUDA cores. Equipped with fifth-generation Tensor Cores, a 14-core ARM® Neoverse® CPU, and support for Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) across 10 TPCs, the platform delivers 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI performance, enabling exceptional scalability and efficiency. This powerful compute platform supports the deployment of next-generation generative AI models. These capabilities enable autonomous systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, and AI-assisted decision-making directly at the tactical edge.

Flexible Technical Integration for Rapid Field Deployment

To streamline development and field operations, the NV500-DY is equipped with 128 GB of 256-bit LPDDR5X memory and 4 x 25GbE connectivity, enabling real-time fusion and processing of high-bandwidth sensor data from radar, LiDAR, EO/IR, and multi-camera systems. The system also features a comprehensive set of native I/O interfaces including 2 x USB Type-C, 2 x USB Type-A, 1 x HDMI, and 1 x DisplayPort. This integrated design   supports output video and facilitate  system debugging, simplifying system integration and field maintenance.

Additionally, the NV500-DY incorporates a highly adaptable power architecture that supports a wide 9V to 28V DC input range. This ensures seamless compatibility across diverse deployment environments, including military ground vehicles and naval vessels.

High-Precision Counter-UAS Capabilities in Harsh Environments

Engineered for critical counter-UAS missions, the NV500-DY supporting radar-based drone detection to deliver high-precision drone detection, tracking, and mitigation under the most demanding field conditions. The system meets the rigorous MIL-STD-810 military standards, providing the shock, vibration, and environmental resilience required for continuous airspace defense.

With its ruggedized design, the NV500-DY operates reliably across an extended temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, ensuring stable, round-the-clock performance for tactical counter-drone operations in even the harshest combat and security environments.

By combining NVIDIA Jetson Thor AI computing, ruggedized mechanical design, and flexible system integration, the NV500-DY provides a powerful edge AI platform for accelerating the deployment of next-generation anti-drone and autonomous mission systems.
