Radio frequency (RF) and microwave technology used in the military is ever-evolving and necessarily acclimating to the congested digital battlefield. These solutions need to be fluent in the language of electronic warfare (EW). Demands for multifunctionality, digitization, and increased sensitivity are pushing designers to add these capabilities that warfighters require when translating electronic noise into actionable information.

With the highly anticipated release of Version 1.0 of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture Technical Standard in September 2021, there are more and more Requests for Information and contracts asking specifically for SOSA. The SOSA Technical Standard is targeting five sensor modalities: electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), electronic warfare (EW), radar, and signals intelligence (SIGINT). What does the first version of the SOSA Technical Standard have to offer a system designer? Specifically, how can SOSA be applied to radar systems?

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions reports that it has been chosen by a defense system integrator to provide its XMC-528 mezzanine card for use in a number of sensor system programs.

ABACO SYSTEMS

This week’s product, the Abaco Systems’ SOSA aligned rugged 3U VPX SBC3511 single-board computer (SBC), brings users variability by aligning with defense standards while improving lifecycle and supportability, lowering the total cost of ownership, and reducing risk. The SBC3511’s alignment with the SOSA standard, its leading-edge performance, its innovative thermal management, and its monitoring/reporting functionality make it ideal for mission-critical signal-processing applications.

The most popular radar and electronic warfare (EW) stories on militaryembedded.com throughout 2021 covered embedded electronics highlights such as 5G for military use, shipboard radar upgrades, hypersonic detection advancements, and more.

JASON DECHIARO, CURTISS-WRIGHT DEFENSE SOLUTIONS

To lower the cost and help speed the pace of technology upgrades for C5ISR [command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] systems on Army vehicles – while supporting the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandate for modular open system architecture (MOSA) solutions – the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Officer (PEO) for Ground Combat Systems (GCS) has issued an Interface Description Document (IDD) that describes the Standardized A-Kit/Vehicle Envelope (SAVE), a new physical SWAP and connector standard for fielding new C5ISR capabilities.

RAMBUS

PUFs are mixed-signal circuits which rely on variations unique to a specific chip to self-generate a digital “fingerprint.” Most PUFs require a “helper-data” image that is generated during the initial digitization process, also known as Enrollment.

ONE STOP SYSTEMS (OSS)

OSS designed the new Rigel: Edge Supercomputer to overcome these shortcomings. The result is a modular, compact, scalable, and rugged server that lets program managers establish survivable AI use cases in the field.
