Access Program for 3U VPX Cards Featuring Next-Generation AMD Ryzen Embedded Processors and Versal Adaptive SoCs for Aerospace and Defense Systems
The latest innovation from BittWare brings next-generation 3U VPX cards with AMD Ryzen Embedded Processors and Versal Adaptive SoCs to early adopters. This program accelerates the development of advanced aerospace and defense systems optimized for mission-critical performance and SWaP efficiency.
Close alignment with AirBorn, a Molex company, broadens SOSA- and VITA-aligned 3U VPX solutions that optimize size, weight, and power (SWaP)
BittWare announces an early access program to jumpstart the development and integration of embedded systems leveraging the company’s new 3U VPX cards powered by next-generation AMD Ryzen™ Embedded processors, AMD Versal™ RF Series, and AMD Versal Adaptive SoCs. BittWare’s portfolio of 3U VPX cards, which will be introduced later this year, is designed to improve performance while optimizing size, weight, and power (SWaP) for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications, including avionics, radar, and signal processing.
“We are excited to elevate the performance of embedded systems in the aerospace and defense industry with our new 3U VPX cards, combined with the latest AMD x86 embedded processor and RF and adaptive computing technologies,” said Craig Petrie, vice president, BittWare. “The opportunity to leverage BittWare’s proven design expertise along with AMD technology leadership will prove invaluable in giving customers more complete, interoperable solutions to meet ever-increasing demands for compact, rugged designs and highly reliable performance.”
Propelling the Future of Embedded Systems
The new BittWare 3U VPX cards leverage next-generation AMD Ryzen™ Embedded processors and AMD Versal RF Series devices, along with AMD Versal Series Gen 2 adaptive SoCs to yield a technological leap forward in data acquisition and multi-sensor processing. As a result, these cards will be especially useful for multi-channel, real-time data processing for radar, sensor fusion, electronic warfare, signals intelligence (SIGINT), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and image processing.
“Our ongoing collaboration with BittWare showcases how delivering integrated system-level solutions that combine AMD compute innovation with BittWare’s expertise in deployable x86 card-level solutions helps to accelerate the adoption of AMD Versal adaptive SoCs and Ryzen Embedded x86 CPUs in defense applications,” said Minal Sawant, senior director, Aerospace and Defense Vertical Market, AMD. “Complementing AMD Versal adaptive devices, Ryzen Embedded processors are ideal for second-stage computing in advanced defense systems, combining software programmable x86 cores, integrated GPUs, and ML-capable NPUs. Rapid enablement of 3U VPX SOSA-aligned cards helps defense customers accelerate new designs for use in tomorrow’s most advanced radar, radio, sensor processing, and mission computing systems.”
BittWare is extending its legacy of developing high-performance COTS products with the 3U VPX cards, including both SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) and VITA 48, which defines the mechanical requirements for building and cooling ruggedized electronic modules for embedded systems.
