Abstract
Content

The VITA 90 family of standards, also known as VNX+, is being crafted to support the government and commercial requirements for ruggedized, small form factor (SFF), Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) compliant, electronic systems suitable for deployment on small aerial platforms, C5ISR pods, spacecraft, ground vehicles, as well as man-wearable applications. The VITA 90 VNX+ standards borrow heavily from VITA 65, also known as OpenVPX, the family of standards which are arguably the dominant MOSA standards used in today’s avionic, vetronic, and space systems. VNX+ has been selected by the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) consortium as a SFF standard to be used for C5ISR sensor payloads in space constrained applications, typical in manned and unmanned air vehicles and spacecraft.
