Enabling Open Architectures in Military ISR, Radar, Electronic Warfare Systems

Experts from all three services -- Air Force, Army, and Navy -- are working together with industry to enable open architectures in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), radar, and electronic warfare systems. Their efforts through initiatives such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) and the Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) reduce long-term life-cycle costs and development time. Industry experts from Abaco, Elma and Wind River cover how these initiatives are reshaping the defense electronics procurement world.
