SBC3518Rugged 3U VPX single board computer with Intel Core Ultra 9, aligned to SOSA
- Manufacturer
SBC3518 is a single-slot single board computer in 3U VPX (VITA 46) format, for programmes ranging from industrial to fully rugged defense and aerospace. It is available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled build levels, aligned to the SOSA technical standard and supporting the DoD CMOSS (C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards).
The CPU, GPU and NPU units of the Core Ultra 9 work in combination and are rated up to 100 TOPS on AI workloads, without an accelerator on a separate slot. Security does not stop at the BIOS: on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZU5EG FPGA, with advanced security functions, you can host your own application functions, with TPM 2.0 and hardware write-protect included.
