New VPX3-663 hybrid switch module eases and accelerates the integration of scalable 3U OpenVPX solutions for compute-intensive applications

Newer on-vehicle integrated networks will be composed of heterogeneous networks in the form of software and equipment from multiple commercial vendors.

Featured products will include ultra-small form factor mission computers and network switches, rugged high capacity storage solutions - such as the Data Transport System, and size, weight, and power (SWaP)-optimized embedded avionics systems - such as the ultra-lightweight Fortress Crash Protected Recorder.

For use on Norwegian Army’s WiSENT 2 Armored Recovery Vehicle program.

This blog examines the four biggest challenges in embedded networking, as well as the technology and techniques to overcome them.

Demo highlights DO-178 safety-certifiable VxWorks® 653 3.0.1.1 RTOS on Curtiss-Wright VPX3-152 SBC and graphics modules and cost-effective development path

Rugged network switch LRU delivers 1/10G throughput, MACSec security, fiber optic connectivity, and Power Over Ethernet injection for deployed Mil-Aero platforms.

These trends – performance and convergence – are two of the most significant factors influencing today’s COTS networking designs.
