Overview
The Kontron VX30101 is a high-end 3U VPX computing board built for AI-enabled mission computing, sensor fusion and rugged embedded server applications. It is based on the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 3 platform, which integrates a neural processing unit and Xe graphics directly on the CPU die.
The board combines high computing density, deterministic high-speed networking and rugged deployment capability in a single-slot SOSA-aligned architecture. Up to 16 CPU cores, 64 GB of ECC-protected LPDDR5x memory and Ethernet fabrics to 100GbE let system designers consolidate workloads that previously required multiple boards into one slot.
Kontron ships the VX30101 in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants, with a 10-year availability commitment suited to long-life defence, aerospace and industrial programmes.
Key Benefits
Single-slot consolidation replaces multi-board sensor-fusion architectures. On-die NPU plus Xe graphics deliver AI inference without a discrete accelerator. ECC LPDDR5x protects mission-critical data. 100GbE fabrics give deterministic transport for radar, EW and ISR payloads. VITA 46.11 Tier 3 IPMI enables out-of-band chassis management, and 10-year availability matches long defence programme lifecycles.
Applications
Tactical mission computing, electronic warfare, radar and signal processing, ISR systems, sensor fusion platforms, rugged embedded servers, and next-generation edge AI deployments in defence and aerospace.
