Kontron, a global leader in IoT and Embedded Computing Technology, today announced the first U.S. production of its rugged VX307H 3U VPX compute platform at Nextek, a Kontron company, in Huntsville, Alabama. Customers can now choose a VX307H built in the USA with Global Components.

The move responds to defense-industry demand for greater supply-chain resilience, faster delivery and U.S.-based support. With U.S. production, Kontron is shifting the VX307H from a build-to-order model to build-to-stock, improving product availability and helping customers get boards faster.

“Defense customers are asking for greater supply-chain resilience, faster availability and closer access to support,” said Stephanie Perdue, Director of Products North America at Kontron. “Bringing VX307H production to the U.S. directly addresses those needs while expanding our domestic VPX manufacturing capabilities.”

At Nextek, VX307H production spans PCB assembly through final assembly and test. The Huntsville operation supports high-reliability aerospace and defense manufacturing with AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, ITAR registration, IPC workmanship standards, traceability and advanced testing capabilities.

“Building the VX307H in Huntsville gives customers a direct path from manufacturing and testing through long-term support,” said Dan Meeks, President of Nextek, a Kontron Company. “Our high-reliability manufacturing and testing capabilities are well suited to the demands of mission-critical defense electronics.”

The VX307H is a rugged 3U VPX platform based on Intel® Xeon® D-2700/2800 processors, with up to 20 cores, up to 100 Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe Gen4 and a hardware root of trust. Designed in accordance with SOSA® requirements, it targets sensor fusion, command and control, autonomous systems and 5G tactical-edge computing.

The VX307H is the first product in a broader expansion of Kontron’s U.S. VPX manufacturing strategy, with the VX3060 and VX30101 planned to follow. Kontron is announcing the capability on the opening day of AUSA 2026 in Washington, D.C. Attendees can meet with Kontron at Booth 7352.
