CPU, GPU and dedicated NPU resources on a single board for demanding AI-enabled Defense and Aerospace applications

TOULON, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2026-- Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/embedded computer technology (ECT), today announces the upcoming Kontron VX30101. This new-generation 3U VPX High-End Computing Board is designed for AI-enabled mission computing, sensor fusion, rugged embedded servers and tactical edge applications.

The ruggedized SWaP-C optimized VX30101 delivers high-performance heterogeneous computing, integrated AI acceleration and ultra-fast networking capabilities. It is among the first 3U VPX boards to integrate the new Intel^® Core™ Ultra Series 3 platform.

The combination of hybrid CPU architecture, NPU and Intel Xe graphics combine with 100Gb Ethernet fabrics, PCI Express connectivity and low-latency memory allows system designers to consolidate workloads previously distributed across multiple boards. The single-slot 3U VPX SOSA^®-aligned design also provides integrators with an easy migration path for legacy compute blades.

"Our highly interoperable VX30101 board delivers outstanding performance for next-generation high-performance embedded computing (HPEC) architectures," said Christophe Ferrande, Product Manager at Kontron. "It provides deterministic and secure edge computing capabilities for mission-critical systems, accelerates the deployment of AI-enabled defense and aerospace applications, and simplifies migration from legacy VPX compute blades to modern AI-capable architectures. All with the peace of mind of reduced integration risk and lifecycle costs and long-term product support."

Available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants, the VX30101 targets extended operating temperatures up to -40°C to +85°C. In addition to high-speed Ethernet data throughput for very high-speed sensor and mission data processing, a TSN Networking Acceleration option will be available for customer applications requiring deterministic Ethernet transport.

The Kontron VX30101 targets long-term deployment programs with planned availability of at least 10 years. A dedicated long-term services package is available beyond the end-of-life date, and a warranty extension of up to 5 years can be provided.

Kontron will be showcasing the VX30101 at Eurosatory 2026, held in Paris, France, from 15–19 June. Visit Kontron in Hall A at Booth E55.
