07 May 2023

California-based General Micro Systems (GMS) has introduced the DominATR eight-slot 3U OpenVPX chassis to support U.S military and commercial applications.

As part of the GMS X9 Venom product family, this chassis reportedly offers architecture and lightweight materials for improved performance, reliability and operating ranges to address the compute and networking needs of the future battlefield.

The X9 Venom family of 3U OpenVPX products, including the DominATR chassis, are aligned to the Sensor Open Standard Architecture (SOSA) open-systems standard, and ready to meet the C4ISR/Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) requirements.

According to its developer, DominATR is available in many configurations, including several pre-configured versions designed for sensor fusion, artificial intelligence (AI) processing and data recording. High-speed 100-gigabit Ethernet fat pipes connect to external sensor concentrators or switches, and roughly 30 10-Gigabit Ethernet sensor ports enable the embedded computing chassis to serve as a sensor fusion data processing node.

With a reported 1,680 W of power and cooling, the DominATR chassis is available in aluminum alloy and carbon fiber, thereby saving as much as 30% in weight.
