Elma Electronic now offers the 3U VPX Mini ATR in a rugged OpenVPX platform designed for use in harsh environments where SWaP is critical. Measuring only 133 x 180 x 250 mm, the compact unit is ideal for space constrained environments. The new Mini ATR ships configured with a 3-slot, 3U OpenVPX backplane, designed to VITA 65, and can be configured with solid state storage and a 250 W power supply. The unit can be modified to accommodate a plug-in version of the power supply module, providing up to 350 W VDC. The platform is targeted at applications requiring a high level of processing capability in a small footprint, such as UAS image processing, radar signal processing and other applications that require high bandwidth signal processing and data communications.
If a standard OpenVPX backplane profile cannot support the needs of the end application, a custom target application profile can be defined and manufactured to meet the application requirements. All of the board products used in the pre-configured Mini ATR platform have been selected and tested for interoperability. Elma is partnered with industry leading single board computer manufacturers, and can ship this unit fully integrated with the SBC.
