HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 7, 2026 — Abaco Systems, a leader in mission-critical embedded computing, today announced the VP892, a rugged, SOSA-aligned 3U VPX FPGA processing engine powered by AMD’s Virtex UltraScale+ VU13P, one of the highest-density devices in the family. The VP892 keeps programs viable for the long term by enhancing performance in harsh defense, telecom and industrial environments.
“Abaco continues to lead the way in delivering SOSA-aligned solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Simon Collins, Director of Product Management at Abaco Systems. “The VP892 offers a powerful upgrade path ideal for applications where performance and reliability cannot be compromised.”
The VP892 enables higher compute density and design continuity for applications such as:
- Electronic Warfare (EW): Real-time signal acquisition for jammer detection and countermeasures
- Radar Imaging: Low-latency processing for high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and phased-array systems
- Semiconductor Manufacturing: Accelerated metrology and inspection systems for defect detection
- Communications & Networking: High-capacity DSP engines for secure data links and 5G/6G infrastructure
- Sensor Fusion & Autonomy: Aggregation and processing of multi-sensor data for ISR and autonomous vehicles
Built for real-time workloads, the VP892 offers 45% more programmable logic and up to 80% more signal-processing engines than the VP891. With AMD committed to supporting the UltraScale+ FPGA family through 2045, system designers can reuse and build on trusted design blocks for new or upgraded systems.
The VP892 supports high-bandwidth sensing and communications with an FMC+ expansion connector for wideband RF and waveform processing. Its 100Gb Ethernet and dual 100Gb optical interfaces enable fast data movement between system cards, delivering high performance in a compact, standards-based form factor.
