ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) to integrate advanced system IP into VPX, ATX, and legacy VMEbus embedded computing systems.
The module also can help increase a system’s overall compute power by providing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) co-processing to the baseboard.
Enhanced TrustedCOTS XMC (VITA 42/61) cards eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming customization of the target hardware. The XMC-528/529 modules enable system integrators to add IP quickly to fielded systems without a complete redesign.

These embedded computing cards have also been deployed in high-performance rackmount servers using Curtiss-Wright rugged carrier solutions. For customers of Curtiss-Wright’s XF07 family of XMC I/O modules, the XMC-529 provides a compelling replacement option.
The compact XMC-529 module works with Curtiss-Wright’s Fabric100 family of extremely high-performance SOSA-aligned 100-gigabit processing engines, such as the recently introduced VPX3-1262 single board computer powered by Intel’s 13th Gen “Raptor Lake” 14-core hybrid architecture processor.
The XMC-529 also can be hosted on a wide range of system modules, such as Curtiss-Wright’s VME-1910, VPX6-1961, and VPX3-1260 SBCs. For more information contact Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions online at www.curtisswrightds.com.
