MicroTCA Computing for Mil/Aero Applications

Small Form Factor (SFF) embedded systems have been gaining popularity due to their small size, weight, and power (SWaP) advantages. The SFF architectures are typically purpose-built, providing just a few specific functions. But, the performance level is often limited and the versatility and re-usability across multiple applications is typically very low. Is a balance available where there is high performance and versatility in an open standard architecture, but a compact size that is optimized for SWaP-C (C stands for cost)?
