SOSA-aligned COTS 3U VPX embedded computing with Xilinx RFSoC for RF processing introduced by Abaco Systems

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Abaco Systems in Huntsville, Ala., is introducing the VP431 3U VPX commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) direct RF processing system for migrating radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems rapidly from the lab to deployment.

The board has third-generation Xilinx radio frequency system-on-chip (RFSoC) technology, and makes the most of I/O channel density, reduces RF signal chain complexity, and is available in an air-cooled or conduction-cooled rugged version.

The VP431 also was developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard to help reduce development and integration time and reduce acquisition and lifetime costs.

The VP431 RF embedded computing system uses heterogeneous processing capabilities allowing for streaming signal processing within an FPGA fabric and general-purpose processing in one module.

The VP431 offers eight channel inputs and eight channel outputs for developing systems for MIMO, beamforming, communications, sensor processing, radar signal processing, and EW.
