LCR’s VPX development systems are benchtop platforms for VPX backplane development and system integration testing. The chassis support OpenVPX, CMOSS, and SOSA architectures in accordance with MOSA directives. They enable shortened design cycles for faster time to deployment in mission-critical defense and aerospace applications. Our extensive product family includes options for 40Gb and 100Gb high-speed system requirements, accommodating both 3U and 6U VPX module sizes. LCR’s VPX development platforms support both air-cooled and conduction-cooled modules with quick change card guides.

100Gb SOSA Aligned VPX System Development

The DK3HS supports high speed VPX system development for VPX and SOSA aligned payloads that require 100Gb slot to slot connectivity. The chassis reflects an open frame concept and allows fast conversion between air and conduction cooled module.

SOSA Aligned 3U VPX Development Chassis

VPX system design is on the fast track with this full featured 19” development chassis with a 12 slot backplane supporting 3U VPX and SOSA aligned board payloads. VITA 67.3 slot apertures accept RF and optical I/O connectors for a range of applications.

SAVE System Integration Development Chassis

The DK3-SAVE is a versatile 19” benchtop development chassis for the test and integration of SAVE compliant systems intended for deployment in army ground vehicles. Open access and SAVE compliant connector set.

4 slot 100Gb SOSA Aligned 3U VPX System Development

The DK3HS-4 supports high speed system development for lower slot count VPX, OpenVPX and SOSA aligned payloads that require 100Gb slot to slot connectivity. The chassis reflects an open frame concept and allows fast conversion between air and conduction cooled module.

SOSA Aligned 3U VPX Benchtop Development

The DK3 for 3U VPX features an open frame concept and enhanced flexibility, with fast conversion between air and conduction cooled module guides. Fast backplane replacement makes for easy reconfiguration in support of every stage of development.
