Per @akschu, using the Rugged MEGA-ET. This is an extended temp range model with better more rugged specs than the Arduino equivalent.

Bristol SG servo integrated position sensor can be read by its I/O pins.

For driving the servo motors with the MEGA, a motor driver sub board is required: https://www.pololu.com/product/2519
