Core Systems has won a contract to supply its ATMOS2 rugged tactical computing systems for the US Army’s Command and Control-Now (C2NOW) initiative.
The C2NOW program is focused on accelerating the deployment of integrated command-and-control capabilities to brigade combat teams and lower-echelon formations under the Army’s broader Next Generation Command and Control modernization effort aimed at improving battlefield management systems.
According to the California-based firm, the ATMOS2 platform will serve as the core computing infrastructure supporting data networks, AI-enabled applications, and other operational nodes within the program.
The system is designed for long-term operational use, offering a seven-year lifecycle along with logistics and depot-level maintenance support for sustained deployments.
Built for Future Battlefield Requirements
Developed to meet military standards for harsh environments and aligned with the US Army’s Modular Open Systems Approach, the ATMOS2 is designed to support future upgrades and evolving mission needs.
The ruggedized unit integrates high-core-count processors, onboard solid-state storage, advanced graphics processing capability, and backup battery support within a single compact chassis.
The platform is compatible with existing command-and-control software suites, including the Command Post Computing Environment, Android Tactical Assault Kit, and Palantir-based mission applications.
Once deployed, the stackable system — weighing between 15 and 35 pounds (7 to 16 kilograms) — is expected to replace conventional server systems that can exceed 250 pounds (113 kilograms).
