Supports standard modules for routing, switching, and security functions. Interfaces via Ethernet, serial, and power connectors. Operates in harsh environments with extended temperature range. Commonly used in tactical deployments, mobile command centers, and vehicle-mounted systems. ## Function Designed to house and power five PacStar 400-Series modules, this rugged, MIL-spec 3U OpenVPX chassis provides mechanical and electrical integration for tactical radio, voice, and IP communication systems. It supports modular deployment in person-carried, vehicle-mount, or semi-fixed configurations within standardized SAVE enclosures, enabling seamless interoperability and rapid reconfiguration. The chassis interfaces with PacStar ecosystems for heterogeneous radio integration, RoIP voice gateway functions, and tactical data link translation, facilitating secure, multi-platform military communications and network extension in expeditionary and fixed network applications. ## Platform Military and commercial modular open systems approach (MOSA) and SOSA-aligned deployments in tactical, vehicle-mount, early entry, and forward operating base environments; supports 5x 3U VPX plug-in cards plus an integrated 300 W VITA 62 power supply; designed for rugged, small form factor PacStar 400-Series ecosystems; fits SAVE-compatible enclosures and integrates with PacStar 400-Series transport and mounting solutions including briefcase, transit case, rack, vehicle mount, and standardized A-Kit envelopes; supports external air-over-conduction cooling, sealed electronics cavity, and redundant fan reliability in hostile environments. ## Application Advanced military-grade communications infrastructure platform supporting high-bandwidth tactical networks in forward operating bases and command posts. Enables rapid deployment of secure voice, video, and data services through integration of radio systems, satellite communications terminals, and IP-based networks. Supports battlefield management systems, intelligence surveillance reconnaissance data distribution, and joint all-domain command and control operations. Critical for establishing network-centric warfare capabilities in austere environments, mobile command centers, and expeditionary communications nodes requiring ruggedized computing resources with multiple communication protocol support. ## Accessories Requires up to five PacStar 400-Series modules. Operates on an external 10-36 VDC power supply via a 2-pin MIL-circular input connector. Features one RJ45 Ethernet management port for remote configuration and monitoring. A five-slot internal backplane provides power and data pass-through between modules using proprietary connectors. Includes a chassis ground lug and a physical Zeroize switch for security. ## Interface 5 x 40GbE QSFP+ ports, 5 x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1 x 100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45, 1 x VGA DB-15, 5 x SMA antenna ports, 5 x RS-232 serial ports via RJ-45, power input via 2-pin connector. ## Images - - - - -
