Backplanes are for mission computing, weapons, navigation, surveillance, target tracking, sensor-based systems, and environmental monitoring.

FREMONT, Calif. – Elma Electronic Inc. in Fremont, Calif., is introducing two 3U backplanes aligned to Snapshot 3 of the Sensor Open Standards Architecture (SOSA) for complex high speed signal processing systems.

The backplanes are for mission computing, weapons, navigation control, threat detection, surveillance, target tracking and display, sensor-based systems, and environmental monitoring.

Populated with or without VITA 67.3 connectors for timing and RF connectivity, the 6-slot and 8-slot embedded computing backplanes incorporate accommodate precision network timing plus slot profiles for single-board computers, switches, radial clocks, and expansion. All data paths support high-speed signals.
