There are many “rugged” computer technologies on the market today that promise performance in
“Mil-Std” environments. MFoCS II computers have a history of demonstrated performance in mission
critical environments while providing a host of sensor, application, and network integration solutions.
Leonardo DRS calls the aggregation of the latest CPU technology, demonstrated rugged reliability, and
broad mission capabilities – Edge-AssuredTM Computing.

Mission Critical Reliability


Mission critical reliability means that warfighters have confidence in their equipment to perform their
mission – every day. Every component of the MFoCS II family of computing system is designed and
verified to perform their functions with a reputation of high reliability. This means that mission readiness
is assured and that warfighters don’t need to be distracted with backup systems / replacement FBCB2 first fielded in the 90s Joint Capabilities Release (JCR), Mounted Mission Command (MMC)
