Mentor Graphics is targeting aerospace and
defense applications with design tools for hardware, software, and
systems, including a requirements management tool.

The OpenVPX standard's interoperability
and Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) support features allow it to quickly
resolve issues and reduce time to integration.
Processing power ... system power
dissipation ... data bandwidth ... data connectivity ... video latency.
These all become critically important components of system development
when designing a system to withstand the rigors of a mobile embedded
system - and manage multiple video channels in a real-time environment.
But the key might prove surprising: It's all in the processor(s).
Adopting new technologies like VPX (VITA
46) doesn't have to mean abandoning previous solutions like VME. Smart
product development strategies and use of XMC (VITA 42) modules enable
the option to use both VME and VPX.
