SX-922
7-Slot Front Loading Chassis 

The SX-922 family of front-loading chassis is engineered for high-performance multi-function processing, fully aligned with U.S. Army CMOSS, The Open Group SOSA™, and 3U OpenVPX™ technical standards. These ruggedized chassis meet MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461C standards, making them ideal for next-generation Cyber, EW, SIGINT, and Comms applications across air, land, and sea platforms. 

Featuring a backplane with 100 Gbps interfaces, the 7-slot configuration supports dual-enclave operations for enhanced security certification. The SX-922 is compliant with ANSI VITA 48.2 standards for VPX REDI conduction cooling and meets ECC3 environmental requirements per VITA 47 standards, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
