Rugged, modular and interoperable computing solutions for C5ISR, EW, SIGINT and EO/IR

Elma works closely with customers and partners to deliver tailored systems for ground combat and support vehicles as well as man-pack comms platforms. Our modular, open standards approach supports accelerated deployment to the warfighter in the field.

Comms on the Move

The Army's Comms on the Move initiatives are driving faster development of mission-critical systems the warfighters need in the field. Increased adoption of open standards are being mandated by the government's mandated Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). OpenVPX, SOSA, CMOSS and VICTORY are standards supported by a wide ecosystem of products to accelerate system development and deployment.

Modular Open Radio Architecture (MORA) RF Platform

Elma's MORA development platform is an integrated, and tested platform based on OpenVPX and SOSA open standards architectures. It includes the payload cards and RF transceivers necessary for rapid SDR technology application development, saving hundreds of hours of integration time.

CMFF Rugged Deployable SAVE Compliant Chassis

The CMOSS Mount Form Factor (CMFF) chassis is designed to open standards defined in the SOSA Technical Reference Standard and CMOSS. It provides a functional platform with tailored sets of payload cards that can be rapidly integrated and deployed to mission-specific needs.
