About ACME Portable

ACME Portable develops and manufactures rugged portable computers and deployable multi-screen workstations for operational environments in defense, C4ISR, test & measurement, edge AI, as well as for government agencies and research institutions. The platforms – including NotePAC III Pro V, FlexPAC L3, BCCD and the MegaPAC series – offer dedicated GPU compute power, up to seven full-length PCIe slots, multi-screen 4K displays, and are tested to MIL-STD-810H and 901E respectively. The company co-engineers the hardware directly around customers' software architectures, including PCIe lane routing, Mil-DTL connectors, cooling concepts and custom power architectures such as dual AC/DC supplies. Flight case integration and system integration are part of the service portfolio, as are technical consulting and deployment support. With over 32 years of experience in engineering flight case and tactical computing platforms, ACME is listed as a registered defense manufacturer under NATO NCAGE code C6894. The company operates engineering and support in Karlsruhe (European headquarters) as well as in Stansted, UK, and supplies prime contractors and research institutions in EMEA, the UK and worldwide.

Services & Engineering

ENG

Custom Co-Engineering

Hardware adaptation directly to the customer's software architecture, including PCIe lane routing and Mil-DTL connectors.

PWR

Dual AC/DC Power Architecture

Custom power supply subsystems, e.g. auto-switching 600W AC plus 21–36V DC for laboratory and in-flight operation.

Flight Case Integration

Integration of the electronics into transportable, field-ready flight case enclosures with tool-free rapid setup.

THERM

Cooling Concepts

Thermal management for thermally demanding operation without throttling, e.g. at -20 °C to +60 °C operating temperature.
