MPMC-9336 3-slot 3U VPX Mission Computer

The MPMC-9366-0001 Multi-Purpose Modular Computer is a flexible,high performance, RF-capable processing system, packaged in a rugged enclosure for deployment in military and aerospace environments.

The system has two ADC channels of up to 4 GS/s or four ADC channels up to 2 GS/s and two, 4 GS/s DAC channels backed by Xilinx FPGA data processing. Control and additional processing is provided by an Intel Architecture based single board computer (SBC) connected using Gen2 PCI Express® (PCIe) as part of a 3-slot 3U VPX backplane.

System processing is handled by a Curtiss-Wright VPX3-530 3U VPX Transceiver module, a Curtiss-Wright VPX3-1258/9 Intel Core i7 SBC, and an optional Curtiss-Wright XCLK1 low-phase noise clock generator.

The coldplate-cooled system enclosure provides environmental protection for the conduction cooled processing modules and supports a baseplate temperature of up to +65°C; optional internal heaters support cold-starts down to -51°C. The system is powered by a 28VDC power supply unit (PSU) capable of supporting 150W and includes power and signal conditioning to meet the most demanding EMC requirements. Additionally, there is a spare slot which supports a 3U VPX storage module containing a 2.5” rugged SATA SSD (capacities up to 8 TB are currently available).

The system enclosure is held to the cold-plate by four high-strength integral bolts; it has been qualified to 200g/3ms ballistic shock. The MPMC-9336 can be readily modified to provide alternative backplane and RF connectivity.

Note: *This system is controlled by UK export regulations. If imported into the USA, then re-export may be USA EAR or ITAR controlled.
