Brame Technologies | Rugged Small Form Factor Computing Solutions

Who is Brame-Tech?

Brame means “intense passion” — and at Brame-Tech, we fuse that passion with cutting-edge technology. We are a provider of rugged and military-grade Small Form Factor (SFF) computing systems for the avionic, defense, and heavy industrial markets.

We consolidate best-of-breed embedded computing technologies into standards-based, rugged, and compact solutions. Our systems are designed for performance, reliability, and rapid deployment in harsh environments.

Brame-Tech supports multiple CPU architectures from Intel®, NXP/Freescale, and AMD, with full compatibility across operating systems including Windows, Linux, VxWorks, Integrity, and Deos.

Founder’s Vision: Pioneer of VITA-74 (VNX)

Brame-Tech was founded by Bill Ripley, a seasoned Electrical Engineer with over 35 years of experience in the avionics and military embedded computing sector.

Bill has spent decades working in major helicopter and tiltrotor system integration, as well as with COTS board and M-COTS system providers. His deep expertise led him to become a mentor and visionary in rugged embedded computing.

He has been an active contributor to key industry standards including:

VITA Standards Organization
Vehicle Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability (VICTORY)
Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™)
MILVA & NGVA (European VICTORY analog)

Recognizing the need for a coherent, standards-based, small form factor COTS architecture, Bill pioneered the VITA-74 standard — also known as VNX.

VNX applies the successful concepts of VPX to a compact, rugged SFF platform, delivering improved Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) without sacrificing performance.
