The VPX3U-BW5000E-SWITCH (WOLF-163S) is a robust 3U VPX module engineered for high-performance embedded applications in harsh defense environments. Conforming to ANSI/VITA 48 and 65 standards, including OpenVPX and SOSA™ aligned profile 14.4.15, this module is built for rugged reliability with conduction cooling, a -40°C to +70°C operational temperature envelope (up to +85°C extended), and shock resilience tested to 40G under MIL-STD-810H. Its compact footprint (160mm x 100mm x 25.4mm) and 1.6kg mass make it ideal for space- and weight-constrained platforms such as tactical ground systems, airborne ISR nodes, and mobile command units.
At its core, the VPX3U-BW5000E-SWITCH integrates a configurable 200 GbE switch fabric, offering eight ports at up to 25GbE plus a dedicated 1000BASE-T interface. The inclusion of NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA ensures ultra-low-latency interconnects for AI-driven tasks and high-speed video workflows. Supporting next-gen GDDR7 memory for bandwidth gains exceeding 50% over prior generations, and equipped with 9th Gen NVENC and 6th Gen NVDEC engines, the module delivers real-time 8K video encoding and decoding capabilities. This makes it ideal for sensor fusion, advanced situational awareness, and multi-stream ISR processing.
