The Military Grade Electronic Control Unit (MGECU) is a rugged, modular, and real-time control solution designed for air, land, and naval platforms operating in harsh environments. Built to meet stringent MIL-STD requirements, including MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-704. MGECU ensures uninterrupted performance under extreme conditions, delivering high reliability and flexibility for defense and industrial applications. The MGECU can be used as a system-level controller for MAST control, thermal management, power distribution, actuator control, and auxiliary platform subsystems.
