Off-the-Shelf Rugged 1/2 ATR SOSA Aligned and Ready for Deployable Applications

New six-slot, 3U short ATR-3600S incorporates modular design for various configurations
Technology Highlights
  • Rugged, short half ATR aligned to SOSA™
  • Six-slot chassis ideal for deployable applications
  • Modular design enables various 3U PIC configurations
  • Enhanced design enables advanced airflow
FREMONT, Calif., September 2023 – Elma Electronic has released a rugged, short 1/2 ATR that is designed for deployable applications requiring alignment with The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™. The ATR-3600S is a six-slot chassis that accepts 3U plug-in cards (PICs) as well as a VITA 62 power supply, all aligned to SOSA.
Mark Littlefield, director of system products for Elma Electronic, noted, “The increased availability of plug-in cards aligned to SOSA is accelerating the speed of integration and enabling more rapid field testing of complex sensor systems. The ATR-3600S builds on that by giving integrators a COTS-based, ready-to-deploy, SOSA aligned chassis to host a range of SOSA plug-in cards.”
Adding to the systems flexibility, the ATR-3600S can be integrated with plug-in cards such as compute- or I/O-intensive processors, Ethernet and PCIe switches, PNT and RF transceivers, and a wide range of interface connections are supported.
The modular chassis offers a robust set of features for reliable and easy operation. It is designed to meet MIL-STD-810 and can be configured for any number of mission-critical applications such as tactical communications, C5ISR, EW, SIGINT and more.
A USB-based maintenance aggregator port on the front panel facilitates simplified servicing. The aluminum dip-brazed exterior meets rugged requirements.
The lightweight unit can be used in compact, low load applications and includes several military grade components, such as MIL-STD-38999 connectors and high-altitude fan tray that operates under extreme conditions. The power supply and line filter combination provides EMC shielding compliant to MIL-STD-461E.

Achieve Greater Design Flexibility and Reduce Costs with Chiplets

Sponsored by Keysight

Chiplets are a new way to build a system-on-chips (SoCs) to improve yields and reduce costs. It partitions the chip into discrete elements and connects them with a standardized interface, enabling designers to meet performance, efficiency, power, size, and cost challenges in the 5 / 6G, artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) era. This white paper will discuss the shift to chiplet adoption and Keysight EDA's implementation of the communication standard (UCIe) into the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS).
