VNX+ and QMC Standards Enhance MOSA for SWaP-Constrained Applications
The VNX+ standard (VITA 90) enables MOSA implementation in SWaP-constrained systems, enhancing defense platform flexibility. The QMC I/O mezzanine standard (VITA 93.x) addresses specific I/O needs, providing an adaptable solution for various mission applications.

The newly-approved VNX+ standard (VITA 90) facilitates the development of MOSA-based systems on platforms with stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints, such as Class 2/3 UAV systems. The QMC I/O mezzanine standard (VITA 93.x) addresses the limitations of fixed COTS interfaces by allowing application-specific I/O expansion, crucial for mission-critical tasks like radar and electronic warfare.
The combination of VNX+ and QMC offers a scalable embedded computing foundation suitable for UAV, dismounted operations, and other size-sensitive applications. This advancement will enable the defense sector to leverage open architecture more effectively, potentially impacting future program designs.
