A distinction needs to be made here between the 3 different secondary specifications for Rugged MicroTCA: MicroTCA.1: The only difference is the front panel on the AdvancedMC modules used. At the top and bottom there is a flange with screw interlock. The system might also have to be made more durable. MicroTCA.2: Specification work has not yet got underway. As such, it is not clear what form the solution will take. MicroTCA.3: The specification is currently under development but work is not yet complete. Therefore, differences between it and MicroTCA.0 cannot yet be described in detail. It seems certain that the AdvancedMC modules will be fastened to the system using Wedge-LOKs and this specification will provide the basis for applications in the area of defense.
