The Magpie is a rugged, small form factor, Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS), pre-qualified computer based on VNX (VITA-74) standard. Derived directly from VPX (VITA 46) & OpenVPX (VITA 65), VNX is the continued evolution of the VPX standard specifically designed for significantly smaller deployments. The Magpie may be 25% to 33% the size of a typical 3U VPX ½ ATR platform, making it the only true industry standard for MIL-spec, rugged small form factor computing.

Though Magpie is small in Size, Weight and Power (SWaP), there is no need to compromise CPU processing, I/O, video/graphics and storage support. Utilizing the most current SWaP optimized, System on a Chip (SoC) compute options, high density connectors and advanced cooling design, the Raptor is suitable for many military and avionic C4ISR applications such as
