How Updates-SOSA Profiles Increasing Adoption OpenVPX Architecture

April 30, 2019

The OpenVPX architecture has evolved dramatically since its original inception, thanks in part to the Sensors Open System Architecture (SOSA) consortium's adoption of the standard. SOSA is comprised of members of industry and the tri-service branches, working together to create a common architecture for future defense systems.


Join Elma Electronic, Kontron and Behlman Power to learn:

  • Updates to the profiles: how and why they've been added to or updated in the standard
  • How the slot profiles were designed to meet VPX requirements and how they map to common types of VPX modules
  • What's new in SOSA for power; why the decision was made to go to 12V only and the role of power in chassis management
