Leveraging VNX+ and QMC Open Standards for Next-Generation Embedded Defense Systems

November 5, 2025

The VNX+ (VITA 90) small form factor module standard, along with the new QMC (VITA 93) small form factor mezzanine I/O standard are essential new tools in the system designer’s toolkit. Integrators have begun to realize how they can leverage MOSA-based COTS components in their small SWAP-constrained platforms that previously required custom electronics—reducing development time by months and significantly lowering system costs.
