3U VPX air transport rack and 3U OpenVPX chassis increase Wild family
Annapolis Micro Systems has added a rugged Wild100 eight-Slot 3U OpenVPX SOSA-Aligned ¾ air transport rack (ATR) chassis (the WC3A80) and two Wild100 19 inch rackmount 3U OpenVPX chassis (the WC31E0 and WC31DH), to its Wild100 family.
Most of the Wild100 family of Annapolis chassis, backplanes and chassis managers, were developed in alignment with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard and support C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS).
They feature 25Gbits per second line rates on data and expansion planes via 25 / 40 / 100Gbit Ethernet, SDR / DDR / QDR / EDR Infiniband, Gen 3 or Gen4 PCI Express and custom protocols up to 25Gbits per second per lane.
All three of the new chassis include a secure Wild Chassis Manager (WABGM0 or WABGM2). These chassis managers are SOSA-aligned and VITA 46.11-compliant, and are powered by a Xilinx UltraScale+ ZU5EG or ZU11EG MPSoC and Microsemi PolarFire MPF200T FPGA for security functions. Multiple security and advanced features are available, added Annapolis Micro Systems.
The WC3A80 ATR chassis is a top-loading forced-air, conduction-cooled WC3A80. It is in production and is shipping to customers. It has eight 3U OpenVPX slots, consisting of four primary RF / compute intensive payload slots with 14.6.11 profile and one each I/O-intensive SBC slot with 14.2.16 profile, one 40 / 100GbE switch slot with 14.4.14 profile, a timing slot with 14.9.2 profile and a 12V-only VITA 62 power supply slot.
Payload slots feature VITA 66.5C and VITA 67.3C connectivity and optional MIL-DTL-38999 SOSA-aligned circular connector(s) with 19 RF or four 24 fibre MT connections. Up to two dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 interfaces are supported.
Operation is from -40 to +70 degrees C and storage from -50 to +85 degrees C ambient air, for demanding airborne and land/sea-based applications.
The WC31E0 is a front-loading forced-air, conduction-cooled 19in rackmount chassis which is in production now. The WC31DH is in development). They have 14 and 13 3U OpenVPX slots, respectively. Both include eight primary RF / compute intensive payload slots with 14.6.11 profile, a timing slot with 14.9.2 profile and two 12V-only VITA 62 power supply slots.
The WC31E0 chassis also includes an I/O-intensive SBC slot with 14.2.16 profile and two 40/100GbE switch slots with 14.4.14 profile.
The WC31DH chassis also includes two HD switch slots that feature high-density VITA 91 connectors with double the available density, up to 64 lanes of Ethernet or PCIe or 128 LVDS pairs. The two HD switch slots allow the WC31DH chassis to handle all data and control plane Ethernet via one slot, with the second switch slot dedicated to the expansion plane – Ethernet, PCIe and/or LVDS (for low latency jamming or radar applications).
