Curtiss-Wright introduces MPMC-9331 mission computer
Curtiss-Wright's defence solutions division has introduced the MPMC-9331 multi-platform mission computer, it announced on 29 April.
The MPMC-9331 is fully qualified for a Program of Record to the ground combat vehicle environment, including nuclear hardening. It is based on the 3U OpenVPX small form factor architecture and is designed to meet compute-intensive combat vehicle applications, such as ballistic fire control.
The computer has three payload slots, two of which are pre-integrated with Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability (VICTORY)-compliant networking and vehicle maintenance module as well as a Power Architecture processor module. The third payload slot is for system expansion to meet customer application requirements.
The MPMC-9331 has been successfully tested for RAD-tolerant operation at the White Sands Missile Range. It comes pre-qualified and fully configured with Curtiss-Wright's COTS VPX3-671 VICTORY Ethernet switch and Power Architecture-based single board computer modules.
Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager, defence solutions division, Curtiss-Wright, said: 'We are very excited to introduce the aerospace and defence market’s first nuclear hardened VICTORY-compliant, Fire Control & Mission Computer solution.
'This powerful and rugged COTS sub-system that has been fully qualified for a Program of Record, leverages today’s leading technology to reduce the system integrator’s design risk while speeding their combat vehicle application’s development schedule.'
