Part of the emerging AR0 product family, LCR’s RTS rugged test and deployment systems combine development, test, and deployment capabilities in a single ATR-style chassis. Designed to support 3U OpenVPX and SOSA-aligned architectures, these systems advance the MOSA directive by offering a modular, extensible platform with payload slot counts ranging from 2 to 16, in both horizontal and vertical load formats.
What sets the AR0 family apart is its ability to function as a development, demonstration, and deployment chassis throughout the system realization process. The modular design supports iterative backplane profile and I/O configuration testing, with Meritec cabling enabling data flow validation on the target vehicle or platform. Once the final backplane and I/O panel designs are confirmed, custom components are fabricated for the next testing phase.
Designed for functional testing and demonstration in real-world or near-application environments, AR0 chassis help integrators accelerate development from lab to field. The base chassis is designed for air and ground deployment and supports VITA 48.2 conduction-cooled modules with an air-over-conduction cooling design.
The AR0 RTS system is built to meet MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-S-901D, with field-proven reliability through LCR’s deployed ATR equipment—making it an ideal solution for rugged, mission-ready defense applications.
