Elma delivers VITA 65 OpenVPX and SOSA® aligned backplanes to power critical embedded computing systems at mission speed.
Elma’s backplane designs are backed by rigorous signal integrity analysis, ensuring reliable high-speed data throughput in the demanding environments where defense systems operate.

As a longtime VITA member and active contributor to the OpenVPX standard, Elma offers the industry’s broadest selection of VITA 65-compliant and SOSA aligned 3U and 6U backplanes, with more slot count and aperture options, including coax and optical, than any other supplier.

Elma doesn’t just supply backplanes; we build them as the foundation of fully integrated embedded computing subsystems, grounded in the open standards hardware that MOSA-driven defense programs depend on.

Elma’s SOSA® aligned backplanes span slot counts from 2 to 12, providing a scalable, standards-based foundation for sensor processing, radar, EW, and other mission-critical applications.

Elma’s field-proven backplanes support up to 100Gbps data throughput across all data paths, with VITA 67.3 RF/coax and VITA 66.5 optical connector options. They are engineered for complex signal processing workloads requiring the latest RF and fiber connectivity, with slot profiles supporting SBCs and payload expansion.

Elma’s backplanes ship in standard configurations or can be customized to your slot profile and aperture requirements. All backed by Elma’s systems engineering team to take your design from backplane selection to fully integrated subsystem.
