Rugged 3U OpenVPX embedded computing system for military applications introduced by North Atlantic

BOHEMIA N.Y. – North Atlantic Industries (NAI) in Bohemia, N.Y., is introducing the SIU36 configurable rugged embedded computing system to support military and aerospace applications that require high-density I/O, communications, Ethernet switching, and processing.

The SIU36 leverages NAI’s 3U boards to deliver off-the-shelf solutions that accelerate deployment of size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP)-optimized systems in military air, land, and sea applications.

The SIU36 features six 3U OpenVPX card slots; support for as many as 18 I/O and communication smart functions; more than 70 modules to choose from; local or external single-board computer host I/F capability; microprocessor support for Freescale PowerPC QorIQ T2080, Intel Core i7, or ARM Cortex -A9 and -A53; and single board computerless remote interface supported via Ethernet connection to the mission computer.

NAI’s Configurable Open System Architecture (COSA) offers a choice of more than 70 smart I/O, communications, Ethernet switch and single-board computer options.

Users can combine preexisting tested functions to meet system requirements. Individually dedicated I/O and communications processors enable rugged mission computers to manage, monitor, and control via single or dual Ethernet.

All products are designed to operate under extreme temperature, shock, vibration, and EMI environments. EMI filters and gaskets meet or exceed MIL-STD-461F and MIL-STD-810G requirements.

Background built-in-test (BIT) continuously monitors the status of all I/O during normal operations and is transparent to the user. BIT routines do not consume single-board computer resources.
