The Themis Mission and Payload Systems Initiative (MPSI) is aimed at providing integrated system solutions and value-added services to Themis military and aerospace customers.
As a part of the MPSI, Themis has assembled an ever-growing suite of 3U VPX conduction cooled hardware to use as building block solutions for these applications. The new Themis hardware includes both a 5-Slot conduction cooled chassis, as well as an 8-Slot ½ ATR conduction cooled chassis with Universal Cooling and Configuration Options.
Complementing Themis' new 3U VPX rugged chassis products are an Intel® Core™ i7 based Single Board Computer, an ATI E4690 based General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU), an 8 channel SATA / SAS RAID Controller with PMC/XMC mezzanine site, a 3U VPX Conduction cooled FLASH card with up to 256 GB capacity, and a general purpose PMC/XMC carrier card for miscellaneous I/O.
Themis will also provide integration services and support for third party partner companies that will provide Software Defined Radio (SDR) functionality, FPGA & Power PC Processing, as well as Avionics Data Bus Interfaces, including MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429.
Themis' approach to providing integrated system solutions utilizing this 3U VPX hardware includes being able to deliver a variety of "Off-the-Shelf" system configurations in a very short period of time, often in 60 to 90 days.
As part of the larger MPSI, Themis has also developed the capability to integrate its air cooled Intel and SPARC processors into airborne systems utilizing ½ ATR and ¾ ATR convection cooled rugged chassis products.
Products under development are:
- Gigabit Ethernet Routers, Switches and Hubs
- Intel Atom based Single Board Computers
- PowerPC based Single Board Computers with Anti-Tamper
- General Purpose I/O Boards designed specifically for the Rugged Airborne and Ground Vehicle MIL Marketplace
