Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions’ VPX3-133 rugged 3U OpenVPX SBC features NXP's quad-core QorIQ T2080 Power Architecture processor. It combines the performance and the advanced I/O capabilities of NXP's QorIQ quad-core AltiVec-equipped 64-bit processor with an extensive set of I/O that provides an extremely powerful processing solution for SWaP-constrained environments. The SBC delivers a high level of computing functionality in the small 3U standard form factor with low power (37W) while providing I/O flexibility.
Available in either air-cooled or conduction-cooled variants, the SBC’s integral high-speed backplane fabrics and XMC mezzanine module connectivity support multi-GBps data flows from board-to-board, both through the VPX3-133's backplane interface and from the backplane to its XMC site. The board is designed to deliver the high bandwidth processing needed to handle the acquisition, processing, and distribution of sensor data required by demanding defense and aerospace applications such as video, radar, and sonar. The VPX3-133 is equally suited for use as a mission computer, display computer, or in SIGINT and motor control applications.
