This 3U OpenVPX system is a complete test environment platform intended to support application development efforts where conformance with the hardware convergence requirements of the DoD’s CMOSS (C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards) initiative is the goal. At the heart of the system is Elma’s 12 slot (12 payload and 2 power supply slots) CMOSS backplane with support for VPX / SOSA (Sensor Open Standards Architecture) module slot profiles. The backplane features high speed RF and optical I/O connectivity and VPX slot profiles as developed in conjunction with CERDEC (the Army Communications, Electronics, Research, Development and Engineering Center), the ONR (Office of Naval Research) and AFRL (the Air Force Research Lab). The platform optionally includes a set of OpenVPX computer, networking and network timing modules to streamline your development efforts and shorten your time to deployment.
