Customer’s challenge

Displaying mission-critical data, sensor feeds, and navigation in extreme environments requires a rugged power supply that is reliable in the harshest of conditions. These units function over wide operating temperature ranges and the power supply must adhere to MIL-STD. Using a standardized VPX power supply would gain efficiencies in engineering efforts and cost.

  • Standardization of the power supply
  • Need for high reliability in harsh conditions
  • A cost-effective solution
