VPX Solutions

Rugged, Modular, and SOSA-Aligned™ Power and Networking for Modern Defense Platforms

Enercon’s VPX portfolio delivers rugged, mission-ready power conversion and high-speed networking solutions aligned with VITA-46/62, OpenVPX, and emerging SOSA® standards. Designed for airborne, naval, and land-based platforms, our VPX modules are available in both 3U and 6U configurations, offering scalable performance footprints to match size, power, and integration requirements across embedded mission systems.

Our VPX power supplies combine wide input ranges, high efficiency, advanced protection mechanisms, and active current-sharing capabilities, enabling parallel operation, scalable interoperability, and high-availability architectures. Paired with intelligent monitoring, system integrators gain real-time visibility over temperature, voltage, diagnostics, and operational health.

On the networking side, Enercon VPX switches and communication cards deliver deterministic data handling, cyber-safe segmentation, and high-speed connectivity between sensors, compute nodes, storage units, and mission computers - all built for harsh military environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical efficiency in Enercon VPX products?
The typical efficiency can range from 87% to 92%, depending on the specific variant, output configuration, and special features.
What are the options available for the communication protocol?
Enercon VPX can support IPMC 46.11 Tier 2 or advanced I2C protocol.
What are the EMI requirements for Enercon VPX?
Enercon VPX is designed to support MIL-STD-461G.
Do Enercon VPX units support holdup?
Yes. Enercon VPX power supplies support holdup either via dedicated external holdup units or through selected VPX models with integrated internal holdup capability.
Do Enercon VPX units support the current share?
Yes. Selected Enercon VPX power supplies support active current share, allowing multiple VPX units to be parallel for load sharing and higher total output power.
What are the standards that Enercon VPX units’ support?
Enercon VPX units support various standards, including VITA 47, VITA 62.2, SOSA-aligned, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-704, and MIL-STD-1275. Some versions are going through DO254 certification.
VITA 46 vs VITA 65?
  • VITA 46 (VPX) defines the core mechanical and electrical architecture of the VPX standard card sizes, connectors, power, and high-speed serial signal mapping.
  • VITA 65 (OpenVPX) builds on VITA 46 by defining system-level interoperability standardized slot profiles, backplane topologies, and module interfaces ensuring that VPX boards from different vendors can work together reliably.
Enercon offers a wide range of Networking modules that are fully comply with the VITA 46 and VITA 65 standards, in 3U and 6U form factors, at different total traffic BW (24G, 320G, 800G, 1.2T and 2T) to suit various system requirements.
What is SOSA?
SOSA (Sensor Open System Architecture) refines and constrains the broad VPX/OpenVPX ecosystem by specifying standardized slot profiles, backplane interfaces, data plane protocols, and management layer (IPMI 46.11). Enercon offers a range of Networking modules fully comply with the SOSA technical standard, offering various slot profiles with Tier/II and III IPMI 46.11 management.
What is IPMI 46.11 standard?
IPMI VITA 46.11 is a system management standard for VPX (VITA 46) systems with expansions defined in the SOSA technical standard, based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) architecture. It defines how VPX modules and chassis communicate health, status, and control information through a System Management Bus (SMBus/I²C). VITA 46.11 specifies roles for Intelligent Platform Management Controllers (IPMCs) on each module and a Chassis Manager, enabling monitoring of parameters like temperature, voltage, and board presence/ID/HW Ver/FW Ver etc even when the module is powered down. All Enercon’s Networking modules support IPMI 46.11 Tier I,II and III, fully verified with industry standard testbenches.
What is dual enclave Switch?
A dual enclave VPX Ethernet switch is a rugged, VPX-based network switch designed to securely separate two independent data domains (enclaves) typically classified and unclassified networks within the same chassis or platform. It provides two physically and logically isolated Ethernet switching planes, ensuring no data leakage between enclaves while allowing shared infrastructure like power and management. Each enclave operates as a discrete Layer 2/Layer 3 network domain, with configurable routing, VLANs, and security policies aligned with NSA CROSS DOMAIN or DoD red/black separation guidelines. Enercon’s 800G3UVPX (3U) and 2T6UVPX (6U) modules are implemented as dual enclave switches, supporting a complete Separate L2/L3 Ethernet switch for the chassis data and control planes.
What is TSN?
TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) extends PTP, SyncE, and NTP capabilities by introducing a suite of IEEE standards designed to provide deterministic, low-jitter communication in Ethernet networks. TSN achieves this through features like time synchronization, traffic scheduling, and path control, ensuring critical data is delivered within strict time constraints. TSN is incorporated in the advanced Enercon’s 800G3UVPX (3U) and 2T6UVPX (6U) Ethernet Switch modules.
