Elma Electronic has enhanced its line of SOSA aligned backplanes to include a 7-slot 3U OpenVPX model that further supports the DOD’s Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) mandate.

Complete with six VITA 65 slots and one VITA 62 PSU slot, the new backplane helps facilitate the development of a common architecture across critical C5ISR and EW systems. Specific application functions include mission, weapons or navigation control, surveillance, as well as threat detection and processes or environmental monitoring.

For CMOSS and RF applications, the new backplane features three payload slots and PNT support across all slots. All control and data plane links are designed for 25 Gbps data rates for high-speed signaling on all data paths and support dual domain Ethernet up to 100GBASE-KR4.

The full featured backplane offers cutting edge VITA 67.3 interconnect technology, with VITA 66 and VITA 67 connector modules installed in the backplane apertures upon request.

Support for a number of critical features including a radial slot card for precision timing and synchronization, support for VITA 48.2 2-Level Maintenance (2LM) and VITA 62 PSU isolation fins for high altitude applications are available on this 6+1 backplane.
