Altera has partnered with Mercury Systems and VadaTech to expand its Agilex 9 FPGA ecosystem with COTS VPX boards for mission-critical defense platforms. These solutions integrate Agilex 9 medium-band Direct RF FPGAs into VPX architectures, including SOSA-aligned OpenVPX, to help defense customers accelerate time-to-market, reduce SWaP, and enable flexible software-defined RF capabilities.
The Agilex 9 FPGAs combine RF data converters, FPGA fabric, and high-speed transceivers into a unified, programmable architecture, enabling real-time processing of large volumes of RF data at the edge. This integration supports distributed, multi-domain operations that require rapid decision-making and adaptation to changing mission requirements. The devices deliver the bandwidth, performance, and I/O needed for demanding embedded applications such as adaptive radar, cognitive electronic warfare, and secure, software-defined communications.
Mercury Systems’ DRF5660 boards and VadaTech’s VPX540 boards with Agilex 9 Direct RF AGRM027 FPGAs are available for order today.
