Kontron introduced the VX30101, a 3U VPX single-slot board aimed at AI-enabled mission computing, sensor fusion and tactical edge deployments in defense and aerospace systems.
Intel’s Core Ultra Series 3 platform sits at the center of the board, combining a hybrid CPU, NPU and Intel Xe graphics with 100Gb Ethernet, PCI Express and low-latency memory.
That architecture is designed to consolidate workloads that previously needed multiple processing boards, while the SOSA-aligned design is meant to simplify upgrades from legacy VPX systems.
Air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions will support -40°C to +85°C operation, with an optional TSN acceleration feature for deterministic Ethernet communication in harsh environments.
Kontron is positioning the product for long programs, promising at least 10 years of availability, lifecycle support beyond end-of-life and warranties of up to 5 years.
