RIO RANCHO, N.M.

Acromag and Alta Data Technologies (Alta) announced today a new product offering that provides unparalleled price-performance and configuration flexibility for rugged avionics systems: Acromag’s new ARCX product with Alta’s avionics interface cards. The ARCX embedded computer is a customizable-off-the-shelf Intel i7 with one or two PMC/XMC expansion sites. This rugged, small form factor box is designed to meet IP67 standards for a dependable, sealed, fanless system. Alta offers a wide variety of avionics PMC and XMC MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC high density interface cards that have been field tested with the ARCX.

“The rugged ARCX system is a 4th Generation Intel Core CPU and single or double PMC/XMC sites and 38999 connectors. SWaP-optimized for military/aerospace deployable systems such as: vetronics, C4ISR, payload management, as well as command and control for drones and robotics. When combined with Alta’s proven 1553 or ARINC interface cards and Acromag’s large PMC/XMC product offering, this product offers countless configuration options using COTS solutions. For example, an ARCX i7 Quad Core system with Alta’s MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC PMC cards and our advance FPGA PMC provides unmatched system capabilities for DSP, video and avionics system capabilities,” states Russ Nieves, Director of Embedded Systems Group for Acromag.

Harry Wild, VP of Sales of Alta, adds, “Alta is very excited about this new total product offering from Acromag. When Alta’s PMC/XMC MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC products are combined with Acromag’s huge standard I/O and FPGA processing cards, the customer has almost unlimited I/O and processing expansion options in the absolute smallest possible footprint. Alta can provide 1-20 1553 channels and 4-60 ARINC channels in a single, small rugged computer with quad core i7 performance! This makes an amazing avionics system controller, monitor or recorder at a price performance value that can’t be touched in the market today.”
