Summary points:

  • New Wave Design unveils the V6068 high-performance embedded computing module for SIGINT, EW, and advanced sensor interface applications.
  • Combines FPGA fabric, ARM cores, and high-speed optical/electrical I/O for rugged, heterogeneous processing.
  • Supports up to 300G aggregate optical bandwidth with 12 full-duplex ports configurable via front-panel or backplane I/O.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – New Wave Design in Eden Prairie, Minn., is introducing the V6068 high-performance heterogeneous embedded computing 3U VPX module for demanding sensor interface, signals intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW), and data processing applications.

The V6068 features the AMD Versal Premium adaptive system-on-chip (SoC), a VITA 57 FMC+ mezzanine site, hard ARM processor cores, an FPGA fabric, and rugged, high-speed optical and electrical I/O.

The V6068 3U VPX embedded computing module provides as many as 12 full-duplex optical ports to support speeds from 1G to 25G per lane, configurable via front panel MPO or VITA 66 backplane I/O. This translates to 300G aggregate optical interface in a single 3U VPX slot, enabling rapid data ingest and distribution.

Programmable logic

The architecture integrates programmable logic FPGA fabric with hard silicon for PCI Express Gen3/Gen4 controllers, DMA engines, and secure MACSEC Ethernet interfaces.

An VITA 57 FMC+ site offers flexibility for customization, such as adding RF capability, and supports future upgrades to increase performance or add new functionalities.
