Providing Rugged, High-Precision Instrumentation for the Armed Forces

Azonix Corporation has been supplying various types of products to the different Armed Forces since the early 1990s. Originally acting as a provider of high-accuracy data acquisition and control products, Azonix sold very accurate temperature devices to meteorologists’ labs. We received an Army contract to deliver Redstone Arsenal resistive thermometers used as temperature references for testing new weapons. 


Marine Computers Used in Diverse Navy Applications

In 1997 Azonix supplied its first industrial computer used on the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan (CVN76) as part of the Integrated Communication and Advanced Network (ICAN) project. Working with prime integrators such as Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding, Intergraph, L3 Communications, Wesco Marine Engineering and NAVSEA. Azonix has supplied various types of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) to the Department of Defense. Some of the applications include propulsion control systems, fire sensor systems, engine control, bridge wing display units, and shaft alley monitoring systems.

Embedded Computers for the U.S. Army 

One of our largest contracts in Azonix history was to supply embedded computers that provided an interface to generator sets used by the U.S. Army. These computers required meeting extreme temperature ranges, so that no matter where in the world the HMI would be used it could turn on and function within 30 seconds. This could be in -40°C in the Alaskan slopes or in +60°C in the Iraqi desert with direct sun beaming on the display. 

Value proposition

Azonix supplies extremely rugged displays and computers for mission-critical applications. Our systems are totally sealed to increase reliability, and can be used indoors or outdoors in direct sunlight at extreme temperatures. We have passed MIL standards for shock vibration and EMI/ RFI. Azonix COTS systems are offered in product platforms that are configurable and if required, modified for custom connector and keypad layouts.

Azonix products are designed to reduce part obsolescence. Utilizing open architecture to support replacement components and newer technologies, our systems are designed for an extended life cycle in comparison to any other rugged computer in the industry.
