California-based tech firm Pacific Defense is pushing artificial intelligence away from centralized systems and into the field with a new processor design for edge operations.
The company’s DSP3100VP digital signal processing module combines AI acceleration with traditional compute functions to handle large volumes of data directly at the source.
It is intended for use in electronic warfare, signals intelligence (SIGINT), autonomous platforms, and detection and tracking applications.
By bringing processing closer to where data is generated, the system reduces reliance on centralized infrastructure and supports faster decision-making in time-sensitive environments.
Built for Edge Intelligence
The processor is aligned with the US Army’s CMOSS (C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards) and SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) standards, enabling integration into modular, open-architecture systems.
According to Pedja Mitrovic, Pacific Defense VP of Modular Products, this compliance is aimed at more directly addressing the needs of modern mission systems.
The DSP3100VP reflects a broader trend in defense technology, where AI is increasingly embedded into hardware rather than concentrated in centralized processing hubs.
“The DSP3100VP is delivered as a complete, AI-ready platform that reduces integration complexity and facilitates faster deployment for next-generation intelligent systems,” the company stated.
