WOLF Advanced Technology, a provider of rugged computing modules for unmanned systems, has introduced four NVIDIA® Blackwell-based 3U and 6U VPX modules, enhancing AI inference for mission-critical edge applications in harsh environments.
Designed for exceptional environmental durability, these products integrate Blackwell’s architectural innovations with WOLF’s modular design and rapid MCOTS customization.
WOLF-1636
The WOLF-1636 (VPX3U-BW5000E-VO-HPC) delivers rugged AI processing with NVIDIA’s Blackwell RTX 5000 embedded GPU, featuring 10,496 CUDA cores and 320 fifth-generation Tensor Cores. Its 24GB GDDR7 ECC memory provides up to 896GB/s bandwidth—55% faster than previous generations—allowing larger data sets to reach the GPU for real-time processing.
SOSA-aligned (14.6.11/13) and backward-compatible with SOSA-aligned Ada/Ampere systems, this 3U module supports the intensive data processing demands of advanced applications.
WOLF-163S
For network-dense deployments, the WOLF-163S (VPX3U-BW5000E-SWITCH) combines Blackwell AI/HPC processing with two switches, a 200GbE network switch with eight 25GbE ports, and a PCIe Gen5 switch, consolidating what would normally require two slots into one slot-saving module.
By unifying CUDA core flexibility and fifth-Gen Tensor core AI processing with GDDR7’s bandwidth, the WOLF-163S provides a significant increase over Ada-generation performance for SWaP-constrained AI inference and delivers a performance increase over the legacy WOLF-134S product.
WOLF-163L
Systems that rely on network connectivity gain an edge with the WOLF-163L (VPX3U-BW5000E-CX7), pairing Blackwell’s compute performance with NVIDIA® ConnectX-7’s 100GbE RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and hardware-accelerated encryption. This solution maintains pin compatibility with previous generation WOLF-153L/144L deployments.
WOLF-2638
Available in the 6U form factor, the WOLF-2638 (VPX6U-BW5000E-VO) features dual Blackwell GPUs, combining 48GB GDDR7, 20,992 CUDA cores, 640 fifth-generation Tensor Cores, and a configurable PCIe Gen5 switch.
Engineered for cutting-edge systems, the WOLF-2638 can be cooled via conduction cooling, air cooling, or liquid flow-through cooling to permit the highest possible performance.
The new modules are now available for order, delivering cutting-edge AI processing power and enhanced performance in rugged, mission-critical environments.
