Our UltraLYNX™ wearable computers provide power and data connectivity to reduce the cognitive and physical burden.

Ultra PCS has a 40+ year track record in design, development and manufacture of rugged electronics for military platforms. Ultra PCS first started working in the Soldier Systems space in 2009, building on its expertise in Vehicle Electronic Architecture to investigate how soldiers could be integrated into a digitised vehicle.

Smarter Technology at the Tactical Edge

Now in full production and known as UltraLYNXTM, our product range provides options in both form factor and connectors. With embedded edge computing technology as standard, UltraLYNX™ is leading the way in advanced Soldier Systems.

UltraLYNX™ Software Defined Hubs

Scalable and flexible open architecture that allows simplified integration of devices that were never designed to work with each other; hubs can be daisy-chained for system expansion.

Software defined capability aids interoperability and enables USB driver offload, network routing, middleware deployment and container hosting on the hub.

The Smarter Way to Integrate Military Technology

Future architectures employing devices such as weapon mounted HMI, HUD/ HMDs and physiological monitors are simplified as the data infrastructure is managed within the hub.

Not dependent on an EUD; system operation and configuration are decoupled from the connected EUD.

Power distribution to connected devices from a central power source can be monitored and controlled through the built-in web-based user interface.

UltraLYNX™ Software Architecture

Future-proof: A configurable and upgradeable platform that simplifies integration and future-proofs the system.

Reduced complexity: The EUD sees one USB network TAK interface which removes the need for custom EUD ROMs and reduces operator burden.

Open architecture: Connected devices and networks can be accessed by third party apps deployed in containers.

UltraLYNX™ WebUI & TAK Plugin

Configuration of the software-defined functionality is achieved via a built-in web-based user interface – no separate apps are required.

System presets are configured ahead of time to provide true plug-and-play functionality that is transparent to the operator.

An optional UltraLYNX™ TAK plugin makes essential power and system status information available to the operator whilst the open network APIs can be used to develop custom plugins for any BMA.
