TAIPEI, Taiwan. 7STARLAKE introduced the SK901-AD5000, a rugged 3U OpenVPX general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) card designed for high-performance embedded computing applications in defense environments, the company announced in a statement.

WATERLOO, Ontario. Pixus Technologies unveiled new carrier boards and specialty cards designed for high-performance computing applications including AI systems and test and measurement platforms, the company announced in a statement.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. MIssion systems company Pacific Defense won a $18.4 million contract with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for the delivery, integration, and optimization of a networked set of integrated systems aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard plus electronic warfare (EW) signal-processing software suites aimed at addressing emerging peer and near-peer capabilities.

The new VITA 100 suite of standards is shaping up to be an interesting display of computing system standards development. Built from years of experience, stemming from VME and OpenVPX, VITA 100 is drawing on the best of these earlier standards to craft a new standard that will enable suppliers and integrators to hit the ground running as soon as the documents are released.

EL SEGUNDO, California. Pacific Defense won a $9.1 million contract from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop, integrate, and demonstrate an artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)-enabled electronic warfare (EW) sensor-effector capability, the company announced in a statement.

This week’s product, Vicor’s SOSA Power Supply, is aligned with the Open Group’s Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard. Designed for 3U OpenVPX systems that are aligned to the SOSA approach, the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) device is targeted at avionics, shipboard applications, and other defense applications.

Pixus Technologies has announced its 15th year anniversary as a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions. The company has been supporting the military, aerospace, industrial, HPEC, physics/research, and telecom communities since it’s inception in 2010. The core Pixus team was created from former Kaparel/Rittal engineers who have been developing backplane-based solutions for over 30 years.

By applying electronics thermal-management expertise with a range of proven module and chassis-level cooling technologies – such as conduction, forced air, air-flow-through (AFT), and liquid-flow-through (LFT) – advanced processing and communications solutions can operate in harsh extended temperature environments and deliver the new capabilities enabled by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to the tactical edge.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Ametek Abaco Systems introduced the GRA117SVIO, an Open VPX 3U video graphics and GPGPU card aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard.

SAN FRANCISCO. The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture or SOSA Consortium today announced the release of the Technical Standard for SOSA Reference Architecture, Edition 2.0, Snapshot 3. New features and functionality described in Snapshot 3 are intended for inclusion in Edition 2.0 of the standard when officially released.
