    • Webinar

    VITA 100, the next-generation, high-performance embedded computing standard, is an evolution of OpenVPX and VPX, both of which enable critical embedded systems such as radar, electronic warfare, SIGINT, and other military capabilities. Building off those standards and extending current technology standards, VITA 100 will look to double the density of current VPX connectors, engage higher-speed protocols including 400G Ethernet and PCIe Gen 6, and increase power capacity (500+ Watts). This webcast of VITA experts, moderated by VITA President and Executive Director Dean Holman, will explore how VITA 100 will enable designers of military systems to counter complex adversarial threats on tomorrow’s battlefield.
