MPMC-965x

The MPMC-965x is an integrated information processing system, providing complete hardware and software solutions.

Overview

The Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions MPMC-965x family of 6U 5-slot systems are leading edge, flexible and rugged processing systems that can be readily configured to meet the needs of any military or aerospace requirements, from benign laboratory to harsh avionics environments. The MPMC-965x is an integrated information processing system, providing complete hardware and software solutions.

The MPMC-965x leverages Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) technology in application-specific requirements to provide a high- performance, state-of-the-art computing solution. By utilizing tried and tested Curtiss-Wright COTS products, the MPMC-965x is an affordable low-risk computing system.

The MPMC-965x is a rugged computer designed to fill multiple roles in air and land vehicles. It is a packaged COTS solution that can greatly reduce up front development costs and through achieving economies of scale in production, reduces recurring costs while meeting the I/O, performance and environmental requirements of the system.

The MPMC-965x achieves these challenging goals through high-quality engineering and designing for the future. The MPMC-965x is a modular system consisting of multiple VPX, VME or VXS backplanes, front connector interfaces, front panels, sidewalls, single board computers (SBCs) and X/PMCs (depending on selected SBC). Besides these components that already have multiple implementations, the power supply is modular and may have multiple implementations in the future.

The MPMC-965x is a 5-slot 6U system that supports VPX, VME or VXS form factors. It allows up to five SBCs (or PMC carrier cards), 12 X/PMC modules (depending on chosen SBC) and one integrated fiber switch be housed in liquid-flow-through cooled chassis. The MPMC-965x can be configured to support both Power Architecture and Intel-based SBCs.
