Flight Qualified Systems
Systems based on the XPand3200 conduction-cooled and XPand4201 forced air-cooled ½ ATR enclosures are deployed in a variety of military aircraft. These systems are first put through environmental and EMI qualification testing by X-ES. The testing by X-ES is followed by X-ES’s customers passing in-flight qualification testing. See all of X-ES's system qualification capabilities.
XPand3200 Systems
The XPand3200 is a fully ruggedized, conduction-cooled chassis. The XPand3200 supports five 0.8" pitch 3U VPX conduction-cooled payload modules and one power supply module slot. The outside dimensions are 4.88 in. (W), 5.62 in. (H), and 8.75 in. (L). An optional SATA SSD memory module provides the convenience of removable storage and the ruggedness of solid state memory at up to 256 GB. The system supports up to 200 W from a MIL-STD-704 28V DC or 115V AC input.
XPand4201 Systems
The XPand4201 is a fully ruggedized, forced air-cooled chassis. The heat from the internal conduction-cooled modules is conducted to sidewall heat exchangers, where it is dissipated to the ambient environment by forced-air cooling. The XPand4201 supports five 0.8" pitch 3U VPX conduction-cooled payload modules and one power supply module slot.The outside dimensions without memory module attachment are 5.88 in (W), 6.0 in (H), and 13.2 in (L). An optional bay for removable Solid State Drive (SSD) (XPort6191 or XPort6192) on the top of the box makes it easy to move collected mission data to the lab for analysis.
Applications
With a wide range of processors to choose from, including Freescale QorIQ PowerPC and Intel Core i7 processors, these systems do not compromise on processing power, despite their small size and weight. With support for interfaces such as MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, CAN, IRIG-B, Ethernet, TIA-530A and RS-170, these systems can support for a vast array of monitoring, control and acquisition applications.
