• MORA-ready for SOSA™ and CMOSS development environments
• 3U VPX platform pre-integrates open standards-based hardware and software
• Speeds time to deployment in a range of critical defense applications

FREMONT, Calif., July 2024 – Elma Electronic now offers a 3U VPX MORA-ready Development Platform (MRDP) that comes pre-integrated with interoperable components and software for faster RF system development. Standard configuration includes a range of plug-in cards (PICs) from open standards industry partners and a comprehensive set of software implementation tools from partner Sciens Innovations.

Travis Doll PhD, President and CEO at Sciens Innovations, noted “The collaborative environment fostered by the open standards community is truly the catalyst to our industry’s continued advancements. By integrating best-of-breed technologies with solid partnerships and shared technical know-how, we are bringing better solutions to market faster, and with less risk.”

By providing turn-key functionality out of the box, Elma’s new MRDP leverages Sciens’ helux Core MORA RF tools, enabling the user to instantly view, evaluate and control MORA resources to explore device capabilities and functionality as well as create, view and modify MORA Signal Resource Profiles (MSRPs). The MRDP also provides a known reference platform to support system development. The pre-integrated environment within the MRDP simplifies the process of creating RF signal processing capabilities and expedites the integration of existing applications within the MORA space.

Ken Grob, director of embedded technologies for Elma Electronic, added, “In keeping with the principles of the MOSA mandate, Elma’s new MRDP provides a customized, fully integrated MORA-ready system that leverages a wide set of proven ecosystem products aligned to SOSA and CMOSS. System designers can configure applications more rapidly in a development environment, and then easily migrate the completed system to a deployable platform as well. This is the rapid technology acceleration our industry needs.”

Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA) is designed to provide modularity, openness, and scalability in an open architecture. It enables system integrators and manufacturers to reduce costs, increase innovation, and accelerate application development, while addressing the challenges of rapidly evolving and increasingly complex radio frequency (RF) systems.
