MPL MILCOTS-4x Mission Computer

MPL’s MILCOTS-4x Mission Computer was developed with the target to meet MIL-STD-810 as well as parts of the DO-160 specifications. The product is installed in a compact IP67 housing with a total of four MIL connectors.

The internal wiring has been eliminated as much as possible. The D38999 MIL connectors are soldered on special MPL designed rigid-flex PCBs. The EMI protection in each interface is integrated directly to the connector on the PCBs for optimal EMI efficiency.

To interface to the standard embedded CPU board from MPL, a mating interface board (ICC) has been designed. The flex part of the connector PCB is connected to the ICC. With this concept, MPL claims to meet basically any standard in the rugged computing environment. If required, the boards can be coated and bonded to increase the robustness even further.

The product comes with interfaces like DVI-D, USB 2.0, GPIOs, serial lines, dual LAN and a wide power input. Additional expansions can be done over the internal expansion interfaces such as mPCIe, m.2 or PCIe/104. These expansions can be easily and quickly integrated into the system, making it flexible and customisable.
