Elma Electronic has now added six additional high-speed backplanes that comply with The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard 1.0 and also incorporate the latest optical fiber and RF connectivity. With 2-, 4- and 6-slot options, these 3U OpenVPX backplanes provide all the development options to meet the complex requirements of high-performance rugged military equipment.
The new backplanes support up to 100GBase-KR4 and PCIe gen 4 high-speed signals. One of the 6-slot models is equipped with VITA 66.5 optical connectors for the Ethernet switch slot.
These backplanes fit within the internationally supported Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standardization initiative, which allows the latest technologies to be implemented much faster and with less cost in typically retained but dynamic markets such as defense and aerospace.
Applications include sensor-based systems, surveillance, radar and other beamforming applications, as well as target detection and display, navigation control, threat detection and process and environmental monitoring.
