Frontgrade Introduces Scalable Mission Processing Applications for Space and Multi-Domain Operations

Frontgrade Technologies is launching a SWaP-optimized product suite that enables rapid scaling of mission processing solutions, directly addressing the critical challenges of size, weight, and power in space and multi-domain systems.

The new concept is known as MAMBA – the Modular Applications for Mission processing with a Bifurcated Architecture.

Initially designed for space vehicle providers, the expanded offerings of the new MAMBA suite scale from VPX to VNX form-factors that support multi-domain operations from space and airborne to terrestrial and maritime. The new portfolio enables customers to rapidly configure and deploy flexible mission solutions using interoperable, compact, and power efficient modular components. Frontgrade plans to grow its MAMBA portfolio of modular, plug-and-play solutions so that customers can shorten development cycles, de-risk system integration, and control lifecycle expenditures.

“The full line of MAMBA mission processing modules empowers users to leverage commercial technology for critical space applications,” said Lorne Graves, CTO, Frontgrade Technologies. “By combining our proven space heritage with the latest commercial advancements, we deliver the reliability our customers expect at a pace that keeps up with rapidly evolving mission needs.”

Product families scale across several factors that are critical for achieving mission processing goals and include:

• Reconfigurable processing modules to adapt to constantly evolving missions
• SBCs and HPCs for demanding, SWaP-conscience applications for any domain
• Storage solutions for managing file systems and buffering data
• Spectrally pure RF-to-digital conversion products that transform raw data into actionable information
• RF modules that ensure signal integrity and performance in high-bandwidth transmission and reception

The efficiency of this product family lowers TOC, accelerating deployment timelines and enabling engineering teams to concentrate on solving complex missions. MAMBA modules will soon be announced and available for early order in late Q3 2025.
