Designers at Primagrahics of Litlington, Nr. Royston, England, are offering a ruggedized convection-cooled commercial-off-the-shelf air transport rack (ATR) that meets ARINC Specification 404A. The hard-mounted top-loading card frame holds as many as five convection-cooled 6U VME boards, while a rugged backplane interfaces directly with rear-panel I/O connectors. Primagraphics recently supplied specialized VME-based video interface subsystems housed in this new ATR to The Boeing co. for use in the U.K. Nimrod MRA4 maritime patrol aircraft.
