The VPX167 is a 3U based VPX system designed for embedment in a large number of pod types flown by the US Military. With up to 7 slots that comply with the VPX standard (VITA 46), the VPX167 offers a high performance and modular architecture in a small and ruggedized form factor suitable for the most demanding Electronic Warfare applications. A Single Board Computer (SBC) will typically act as the control and communication hub and connect to multiple peripheral cards. Subsystems with the following components and capabilities are possible: RF down and up conversion, Switched Filter banks, Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog, FPGA and DSP capabilities.
The slim, light-weight and yet extremely powerful system is made possible thanks to advances in the miniaturization of high end digitizers, waveform generators and associated processing units that can be reconfigured to fit the demands of specific missions. With a flexible architecture that relies on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) modules the VPX167 cuts down integration time and ensures determinism when there is no margin for error.
The VPX167 can host a variety of COTS based systems that are a combination of custom RF systems, COTS processing cards and custom, reconfigurable firmware.
