Pacific Defense Ruggedized 14-Slot SOSA/CMOSS Chassis for Multi-Function, Multi-Domain C5ISR/EW Missions
This new multi-slot chassis expands the company's modular product portfolio with a flexible 14-slot configuration featuring a high-speed 100G standards-based backplane topology, our new advanced chassis and system manager, improved thermal performance over prior generation chassis solutions, and support for secure enclave operations. The RCH9140VP is a fully open SOSA/CMOSS-aligned chassis that enables rapid implementation of a wide range of mission capabilities, including a near-term deployment for a U.S. Army Program of Record.
Unlocking the Full Potential of MOSA
By accelerating the integration of commercial technologies aligned to MOSA technical standards, Pacific Defense enables U.S. and allied forces to maintain an operational advantage through flexible plug-and-play integration of mission-critical hardware and software. The RCH9140VP front-loading design enables fast, simple, and reliable 3U plug-in card (PIC) replacement without disturbing adjacent hardware or cabling improving system reliability and reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).
"The RCH9140VP provides a base platform for a truly open SOSA/CMOSS-aligned system that allows line-replaceable units (LRUs) for multiple missions to be consolidated into a single, SWAP-optimized solution," said Pedja Mitrovic, VP of Modular Products at Pacific Defense. "This eliminates the need to replace an entire integrated mission system when inserting new capabilities. Pacific Defense continues to innovate and deliver flexible, adaptable, and cost-efficient solutions for the U.S. military, allies, and industry partners."
Key Features of the RCH9140VP
- 14-slot 3U SOSA/CMOSS design with built-in chassis manager and highly efficient thermal architecture for conduction-cooled PICs, supported by a low-noise cooling fan
- Provisioned for eight (8) payload PICs; one (1) I/O-intensive computer PIC; two (2) GbE switch PICs; two (2) power-supply PICs; and one (1) timing/PNT PIC
