Annapolis high-performance products are designed for advanced HPC, ISR, and multi-function EW applications, including phased array radar, cybersecurity network processing, DRFM, beamforming, sensor processing, wireless communication, and radar signal processing.
 

Following the announcement of their 15-Slot 3U OpenVPX Chassis, Annapolis Micro Systems now offers twenty of the industry's most exciting 3U and 6U VPX products that align with SOSA Technical Standard 1.0. This may be the largest single-company portfolio of products aligned with SOSA 1.0 on the market today.

Annapolis’ twentieth SOSA product introduction coincides with the long-anticipated official release of the Open Group Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) Consortium Technical Standard for SOSA Reference Architecture, Edition 1.0.

“SOSA 1.0 has only just been issued, but we’ve been contributing to it – and developing 100Gb Ethernet products aligned with it – for years,” said Jay Grandin, Annapolis Micro Systems VP of Product Development, and long-time SOSA technical working group member.

SOSA Technical Standard 1.0 is notable due to its adoption by all three branches (the Tri-Services) of the U.S. DoD, for airborne, subsurface, surface, ground, and space applications. It adheres to an open systems architecture, based on key interfaces and open standards established by industry-government consensus.

“Although there is not yet a SOSA product directory, we think we have more SOSA-aligned products, and a fuller SOSA EcoSystem, than anyone else,” said Noah Donaldson, Annapolis Micro Systems Chief Technology Officer. “It’s due to our early adoption of SOSA and our decades of experience in developing modular open systems products for high-performance embedded computing.”

The complete WILD100™ EcoSystem of 100GbE products are SOSA-aligned and proven in the field, and provide users with a revolutionary COTS solution for digital signal processing and high performance embedded computing for the military and commercial markets.

The following 3U and 6U OpenVPX products are optimised to operate in any VPX WILD100 System and can be readily integrated into a 3rd party SOSA-aligned VPX system.
