High-performance SOSA- and CMOSS-aligned embedded computing chassis introduced by Annapolis Microsystems
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Annapolis Micro Systems Inc. in Annapolis, Md., is introducing the rugged WILD100 eight-Slot 3U OpenVPX SOSA-aligned three-quarter air transport rack (ATR) chassis (WC3A80) and two WILD100 19-inch Rackmount 3U OpenVPX chassis (WC31E0 & WC31DH).
These embedded computing products are for advanced high-performance computing; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; and multi-function electronic warfare applications like phased-array radar, cyber security network processing, digital radio frequency memory; beamforming; sensor processing; wireless communications; and radar signal processing.
The chassis join the WILD100 family of Annapolis chassis, backplanes & chassis managers, most of which were developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard and support C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS).
The WILD100 products feature 25 gigabits per second line rates on data and expansion planes via 5/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet; SDR/DDR/QDR/EDR Infiniband; Gen 3/4 PCI Express; and custom protocols to 25 gigabits per second per lane.
All three chassis include a secure WILD chassis manager (WABGM0 or WABGM2). The chassis managers are SOSA-aligned and VITA 46.11 compliant, and are powered by a Xilinx UltraScale+ ZU5EG or ZU11EG MPSoC and Microsemi PolarFire MPF200T FPGA for security functions. Multiple security and advanced features are available; contact factory for details.
The WC3A80 ATR chassis is a top-loading forced-air, and conduction-cooled that has eight 3U OpenVPX slots: four primary RF/compute intensive payload slots with 14.6.11 profile; one I/O-intensive board slot with 14.2.16 profile; one 40/100 gigabit switch slot with 14.4.14 profile; one timing slot with 14.9.2 profile; and one 12-volt-only VITA 62 power supply slot.
Payload slots feature VITA 66.5C and VITA 67.3C connectivity, and optional MIL-DTL-38999 SOSA-aligned circular connector(s) with 19 RF or four 24 fiber MT connections. Slots support as many as two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 interfaces.
The rugged units operate in temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees Celsius and storage from -50 to 85 C ambient air, and is targeted at demanding airborne and land/sea-based applications.

The front-loading forced-air, conduction-cooled WC31E0 (in production) and WC31DH (in development) have 14 and 13 3U OpenVPX slots, respectively. Both include: eight primary RF/compute intensive payload slots with 14.6.11 profile; one timing slot with 14.9.2 profile; and two 12-volt-only vita 62 power supply slots.
The WC31E0 chassis includes one I/O-intensive board slot with 14.2.16 profile; and two 40/100 gigabit switch slots with 14.4.14 profile. The WC31DH chassis also includes two HD Switch slots that feature high-density VITA 91 connectors, and as much as 64 lanes of Ethernet, PCI Express, or 128 LVDS pairs.
