MIDDLETON, WI — (Marketwire) — 03/14/12 — Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) has introduced the company-s first ruggedized COM Express® module, the , which complies with the PICMG COM Express Compact form factor (95mm x 95mm) and supports an enhanced Type-5 pinout. The can be hosted on a standard COM Express carrier card, hosted on a custom carrier card built to include any additional requirements from the end user, or integrated into the X-ES rugged systems.

Designed and tested for the harshest military, aerospace, and industrial environments, the includes enhancements above and beyond commercial COM Express modules to provide a rugged and reliable COTS processor mezzanine solution:

Incorporates the same design and manufacturing principles as all X-ES Level-5 rugged products

Designed and tested for full operation from -40 to +85ºC

Additional mounting holes for increased structural integrity

Extended shock and vibration capabilities for full operation in the harshest environments

Conduction-cooled and air-cooled applications supported by single design

Soldered down memory replaces less rugged and less reliable SO-DIMMs

Tin-lead manufacturing process to mitigate tin-whisker effects (RoHS-compliant process is also available)

BIT support

Targeting Freescale QorIQ P1011, P1020, P2010, and P2020 processors with clock speeds of up to 1.2 GHz, the features up to 8 GB of DDR3-800, x2 and x1 PCI Express interfaces, three Gigabit Ethernet ports, two SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports, two serial ports, and a USB 2.0 port. BSPs for Linux, INTEGRITY, and VxWorks are available. QNX, LynxOS, and other O/S support may be available as needed.

The was developed with the rugged in mind. Supporting conduction cooling, natural convection cooling, and minimal SWaP, an XPand6000-based system can be bolted to almost any available surface of a small UAV or ground vehicle. Weighing as little as 3.5 lbs., provide both high-performance processing capabilities and a multitude of I/O functions added via PMCs/XMCs, including MIL-STD-1553, serial, router, and storage capability in an extremely small and lightweight package.
