SOSA UPDATE MARCH 2023

The SOSA Update bimonthly E-newsletter from the editorial staff of militaryembedded.com covers the news, blogs, columns, feature articles, videos, podcasts, and more on the activities of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Consortium, via the Military Embedded Systems collaboration with The Open Group, who manages the consortium, and the SOSA Outreach Committee. The SOSA Consortium enables government and industry to collaboratively develop open standards and best practices to enable, enhance and accelerate the deployment of affordable, capable, interoperable sensor systems.

While most leaders in the Department of Defense (DoD) understand the basic value of open architectures, they need to see metrics on already-realized cost and scheduled savings, said David Tremper, Director, Acquisition Integration and Interoperability, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense in his keynote address at the MOSA [Modular Open Systems Approach] Virtual Summit held February 22 and hosted by myself and Military Embedded Systems.

As 2023 marches on, we are seeing a growing trend within the aerospace and defense electronics industry toward technology standardization, in particular regarding power-delivery networks. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and prime defense contractors are incentivized to push standardized, modular power systems thanks to their inherent reusability, ability to scale across multiple platforms, and the clear benefits of shorter development time and faster time to revenue.

The U.S. Army has long pursued a standardized infrastructure and architecture for ground-combat vehicle hardware and networking. While the VICTORY standard helped make some progress and created some excitement, the need to converge on a more focused solution set soon became apparent. The next step was CMOSS, which – in its effort to define the suite of standards for building the desired infrastructure and network – embraced the VICTORY, MORA, and OpenVPX standards.

Today’s video applications, particularly in the defense arena, are challenged by more complex video-signal processing from an increasing number of video sources with higher bandwidth and higher resolutions. Critical to defense applications: minimizing latency between video capture and display.

There is a growing need across multiple sectors for devices to be able to support the greater intelligence required to transition from automated to autonomous systems. This is driving technical requirements for open standards–based software-defined architectures to enable consolidation of multiple applications, including those at different levels of criticality and using multiple operating systems, onto common computing platforms.

5G NR has arrived at a perfect time to meet the ever-increasing global mobile broadband needs. The DoD is adapting commercial 5G technology to meet tactical communications needs in terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. To ensure the successful operation of 5G, new test processes and solutions have been developed to help engineers verify designs and have confidence that their products comply with commercial industry and DoD standards.
