Fuse Integration Releases CORE VPX for Resilient Tactical Communications

This system is the latest addition to the company’s CORE family of products and is engineered to provide resilient and secure communications for mission-critical systems.

Sumner Lee, CEO of Fuse, said, “Warfighters need communication systems that just work — securely, reliably, and across domains. With CORE VPX, we’re delivering exactly that. It’s standards-based, open, and customizable to meet multiple mission needs.”

The CORE VPX is custom-built to be paired with various apertures, including those that are digitally enabled. The system supports both data and voice transmission over Global Lightning and commercial pLEO satellite networks, which enables Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) connectivity in contested environments.

Designed for integration into joint platforms using open architecture systems, the device is aligned with Modular Open Systems Approach and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards. Key features include SOSA-aligned plug-in cards that are configurable with industry-leading CPUs, GPUs, FPGA/MPSoCs, AI accelerators, and storage, network switching, and I/O.

The compact and ruggedized design makes the system suitable for airborne, shipboard, and ground-based platforms, including the F/A-18 aircraft. It is designed for multi-domain operations that require real-time intelligence, targeting data, and secure command-and-control links, which enable communications, sensors, and network effects.
