Core Systems has won a contract to supply its ATMOS2 ruggedized tactical computers for the US Army’s Command and Control-Now (C2NOW) initiative, part of the broader Next Generation Command and Control modernization effort. The ATMOS2 platform is intended to serve as the computing backbone for battlefield data management, artificial intelligence-enabled applications, and mission command systems deployed to brigade combat teams and lower-echelon formations. Built to military standards and aligned with the US Army’s Modular Open Systems Approach, the compact device integrates high-core-count processors, graphics processing capability, onboard solid-state storage, and backup battery systems within a single chassis. The platform supports command-and-control software such as the Command Post Computing Environment, Android Tactical Assault Kit, and Palantir-based applications. Weighing between 15 and 35 pounds, the ATMOS2 is expected to replace conventional server stacks exceeding 250 pounds while offering a seven-year operational lifecycle with depot-level maintenance support.
