Watch this 30-minute webinar, sponsored by Elma Electronic and Behlman Electronics, to learn how platform power requirements are driving designs for modular computer systems designed for use in air and ground vehicles. Subject matter experts David Gash and Ken Grob focus on the challenges posed by varying power levels and specific performance parameters for military platforms. They address the differences in power standards for aircraft and ground vehicles, such as MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704 requirements, and the VITA 62.0 standard for modular plug-in power supplies.
The discussion also covers the trade-off between output power capacity and voltage resilience, as well as system considerations for power supplies, including starting current, power supply design, and chassis management for intelligent platform management.
As new chip technologies are incorporated into cards designed to align with the SOSA Technical Standard and OpenVPX, physical cooling limits become more challenging and impact system design.
Uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs) continue to be force multipliers for U.S. military operations.
