Ampex Data Systems Corporation today announced the release of their ruggedized ultra compact airborne recorder, the TuffServ™ 40 (TS 40).

The TS 40 is the smallest, lightest and most power-frugal member of the TuffServ family. At just 1.8" H x 3.5" W x 6.25" D and weighing 1.4 lbs, it's specifically designed for demanding applications such as tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems where size and payload weight are at a premium. Using a fixed solid-state storage module, the TS 40 provides up to 160GB of memory with larger capacities available in the future. The standard system is delivered with a modern Linux system, providing a wide range of network services out of the box, including NFS and Samba for Windows SMB/CIFS networks, FTP and iSCSI.

Ampex most recently displayed the TS 40 at the ITC show in Las Vegas, NV and will also display it at numerous upcoming trade shows as well. Please contact your Ampex representative for further information on the TS 40.
