ANDOVER, Mass. – Mercury Systems Inc. in Andover, Mass., is introducing the model 8257A development platform aligned to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard.
Featuring a single-slot 3U VPX backplane and integrated power supply, the 8257A enables engineers to accelerate sensor processing applications development in a SOSA aligned desktop environment.
The model 8257A accepts 3U VPX conduction-cooled boards and uses integral fans for air cooling, enabling development on a rugged and conduction-cooled board in a desktop or benchtop environment.
