- VITA 66 and 67 optical RF connectivity
- Accommodates best-in-class 3U VPX SOSA aligned payloads
October 2022 – Norristown, PA – LCR Embedded Systems has released a dual slot rugged test system for VPX/SOSA aligned payloads that is part of its emerging RTS line. The RTS-210 enables performance demonstration and testing in harsh environments when development activities move from the lab to the field.
Designed for in vehicle use, the RTS-210 allows functional testing at, or near, application-level environments. A front expansion module provides access to the development backplane and discrete I/O panel connectors, allowing for signal connectivity and backplane profile layout using Meritec cabling.
The RTS-210’s unique design enables streamlined transition from development to deployment when the expansion module is replaced with the custom I/O front panel and backplane containing the application specific profile. The chassis offers backplane versions supporting the latest module profiles for four different VPX/SOSA aligned payload modules in up to three, 2 slot combinations (plus VITA 62 PSU slot). Slot options include VITA 67 fill and half width apertures.
The RTS-210 can be used in high power, high speed C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems that operate in mission critical defense applications on land, air and sea.
The VITA 48.2 conduction cooled base chassis design, along with the final custom I/O panel, is meets MIL STD shock, vibration, thermal and ingress requirements.
Award winner
LCR’s RTS-210 received top honors (Platinum level) from the Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Award Program in August 2022. The 2 slot rapid rugged test system was recognized for its ‘superb innovation, characterized by a groundbreaking approach to meeting a need, and/or a new level of performance, efficiency, ease-of-use or other beneficial quality’.
“The RTS-210 is a potential game changer when it comes to moving system development efforts from the lab to the field. The industry is seeing a dramatic reduction in system integration time due to the success of the SOSA standards. The pressure is on chassis designers to bring those systems to the field faster than ever. The RTS-210 meshes functional and environmental testing in a development chassis that’s deployment ready,” said LCR Embedded President Dan Manoukian.
