Application-Specific Chassis for a Naval ISR Upgrade

This naval ISR chassis case study shows how Atrenne helped upgrade a mission-critical NATO naval surface threat-protection system. The program required a new 6U OpenVPX architecture with Gen3 10.3 Gbaud fabric, higher-power DSP modules, legacy DVI and mounting compatibility, maritime ruggedization, protection against ESD and lightning-generated power surges, and delivery on a compressed schedule.

Atrenne developed an application-specific chassis using a patent-pending Gen3 backplane, advanced air cooling, signal conditioning and protection for multiple I/O interfaces, and a customized mechanical design.
