TOULON, France – Kontron Modular Computers S.A.S. in Toulon, France, is introducing the VX6096 plug-in card for compute-intensive military radar applications like airborne mapping, navigation, surveillance, airborne early warning, long-range tracking, and target localization.

The VX6096 embedded computing board has Intel Xeon-D2700/2800 processors, VITA 48.8 advanced Air Flow Through cooling technology, and hardware security features such as a secure PLD.

With Intel Xeon D2700/2800 systems on chip running at 2 GHz, the VX6096 offers as much as 128 gigabytes DDR4 memory with ECC and advanced network capabilities with 100-gigabit Ethernet support. Using XMC or MXM expansion slots enables designers to use a GPU board to enhance graphics and compute capabilities.

The VX6096 aligns with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard, and offers real-time capabilities with TSN and Intel TCC support. The VX6096 is available in 16- and 20-core versions and offers long-term 10-year availability.

The VX6096's Type 2 conduction-cooled version can withstand card edge temperatures from -40 to 70 degrees Celsius, and is available with the VITA 48 REDI two-level maintenance cover. The VITA 48.8 Air Flow Through version enables improved thermal performance with an ambient temperature range of -40 to 55 C. Support for CC-4 and FC3 is available on request.
