SOSA UPDATE SEPTEMBER 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.

Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Consortium members exhibiting at DSEI 2023 tell me there is considerable interest in the SOSA Technical Standard and in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) modular open systems approach (MOSA) even if there is not an official MOSA mandate like the one from the DoD.

The pace at which technology is ramping up, including in the military electronics and implements arena, is forcing the defense and aerospace industry to increase its adoption of new tech and parts. Such advances in pace and adoption does expose companies to more risk, but the military supply chain is not alone in this dilemma.

Innovators in the area of commercial semiconductors are continuously developing new capabilities in silicon; defense system designers can leverage these advances to build open architecture-based processing solutions. When intelligently packaged for reliable deployment at the edge, the latest commercial data center technologies can advance mission capabilities for the defense and aerospace sector.

Millimeter wave scanners are superior to traditional metal detectors because they can identify and locate both metallic and nonmetallic threats. This article describes how mmWave imaging hardware works and will present a chipset that uses edge processing to manage massive data loads to enable the development of walkthrough security scanning systems.

CRITICAL I/O
 
This new whitepaper explore the use of a high speed Ethernet RDMA interconnect between a GPU system and NVMe based storage system. Combined with Critical I/O’s StoreEngine and StorePak NVMe 3U VPX modules and built-in recording software, this approach moves data directly to and from GPU memory with high efficiency and ultra-low latency.
