Features integrated power management, supporting AC/DC input with uninterrupted switching, physical security mechanisms, and thermal management for extreme environments. Provides five slots for PCI Express/104 form factor modules, enabling secure C4ISR applications at the tactical edge. Designed for MIL-STD compliance with shock, vibration, and environmental protection for military, homeland security, and emergency response operations. ## Function Provides ruggedized chassis housing with five expansion slots for modular electronic cards and systems. Integrates power distribution, thermal management, and interconnect backplane for military and aerospace applications. Supports hot-swappable modules with intelligent monitoring and control capabilities. Designed for harsh environmental conditions with EMI shielding and vibration resistance. Enables system configuration flexibility through standardized slot interfaces and centralized power management. ## Platform 5-slot modular chassis designed for rugged, MIL-spec operation housing five PacStar 400-Series communication modules; integrates worldwide AC/DC power with automatic UPS backup using DoD-standard Li-Ion batteries; supports clean 12 V DC output for ancillary devices; features tool-less quick-release removable lids and integrated cooling for standalone or transit case deployment; compatible with PacStar Mini Transit Cases, rack-mount frames, and Pelican case systems; enables physically separated operation for secure enclaves and supports scalable communications system integration under MOSA/CMOSS/SOSA frameworks. ## Application Ruggedized, modular network and server solutions in field environments; designed to house PacStar network modules and servers; supports secure data, voice, and video communications; can be used for tactical military deployment, rapidly deployable communications kits, emergency response operations; interfaces with Ethernet, USB, and power connections; manages communications for command posts, vehicles, or aircraft in remote locations. ## Accessories Five expansion slots supporting PacStar 400-Series modules. Requires external 28VDC power supply via MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector. Front panel includes USB 2.0 Type-A ports, RJ-45 Ethernet management port, and status LED indicators. Backplane provides high-speed serial fabric interconnect between modules. Cooling provided by integrated fans with front-to-rear airflow. Compatible with PacStar IQ-Core software management suite. Supports hot-swappable module insertion. Chassis interconnect cables available for multi-chassis configurations. Optional transit case and mounting brackets for rack or vehicle installation. ## Interface 5-slot chassis housing PacStar 400-Series modules; integrated AC/DC power supply supporting worldwide AC input (85-264 V, 47-63 Hz) and wide-range DC input (10-36 V DC); built-in UPS with DoD 2590 Li-Ion battery (200 Wh); clean 12 V DC output port (50 W) for ancillary equipment; LED battery status indicators; integrated cooling system; mechanical quick-release for tool-less module access and removal; designed for standalone operation or integration into rack-mount frames, transit cases, or Pelican case solutions; supports 3U OpenVPX form factor for compatibility with SOSA/CMOSS systems. ## Images - - - -
