Immediately, I’m thrilled to announce a groundbreaking initiative based on open standards adopted by the US Department of Defense (DoD) for developing the next generation of communication systems for their tactical operations. The adoption of open standards is expected to help the Navy reduce its reliance on proprietary solutions, thereby reducing costs, enhancing interoperability, and simplifying and accelerating deployments.
To address the complexities arising from proprietary methods, the navy developed rigorous standards for , , and , thereby overcoming issues of restricted interoperability, safety vulnerabilities, prolonged development cycles, and limited scalability. The Navy’s adoption of SOSA, CMOSS, and OpenVPX enables a significant modernization of its communication infrastructure, effectively resolving longstanding issues surrounding interoperability, cost-effectiveness, accelerated innovation cycles, and enhanced safety standards. These requirements enhance the efficiency of measuring, weighing, and harnessing communication methods, while increasing their versatility and malleability.
The all-new Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded System: A Game-Changing Solution
The newly released Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Series seamlessly aligns with SOSA, CMOSS, and VPX standards. Running Cisco IOS XE software enables the implementation of robust, enterprise-grade networking capabilities tailored to meet the specific demands of naval operations. IOS XE introduces enhanced security features, including Layer 2 encryption, machine authentication, port security, and network segmentation – crucial measures to safeguard critical infrastructure and communication channels. Additionally, it offers advanced networking capabilities like EIGRP, which ensures reliable connectivity by rapidly adapting to topology changes, such as link failures.
The Catalyst ESS9300 Embedded Collection swap enables seamless integration. This measure safeguards customers against fraudulent hardware, preserves software authenticity and enables secure communication transactions.
The newly introduced VPX3-623 Swap Module –
Collaborating with Curtiss-Wright, we’re developing a standards-based platform, where the newly launched Catalyst ESS9300 switch serves as the technological foundation. That marks the first instance where Cisco switching capabilities will be available in a VPX format release. The VPX3-623 is paired with the Catalyst ESS9300 on a Curtiss-Wright-developed provider card, which together fit seamlessly into a rugged VPX chassis. Intricately designed, this rugged chassis is specifically engineered to seamlessly integrate into Navy automobiles, ensuring the reliable transmission of life-critical communications amidst the most unforgiving combat environments.

The VPX3-623 provides the features that both ground and airborne community designers expect to integrate seamlessly within and outside the system’s ruggedized chassis, ultimately enhancing community safety, flexibility, and manageability at the tactical edge for CMOSS and SOSA-compliant platforms.
As a purpose-built solution meeting stringent requirements, this ruggedized swap is designed to support vital communications and cybersecurity needs compliant with FIPS 140 encryption standards. The joint resolution will be certified to meet MIL-STD-810H environmental ruggedization specifications, offering a range of network switching capabilities previously unavailable on VPX hardware.
With the integration of robust enterprise-class, hardware-based switching capabilities into CMOSS/SOSA-compliant embedded ecosystems, VPX3-623’s compliance with rigorous safety certifications enables secure deployment on government networks, further extending NSA-approved Industrial Options for Labeled (CSfC) information encryption solutions to new component architectures.
