Adversarial threats continue to evolve at a fast pace, especially in the areas of electronic warfare (EW) and signal intelligence (SIGINT). Developing solutions to counter these threats can be costly and time-consuming, bogged down by incompatible components and proprietary designs.
To reduce costs and integration times, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is turning toward MOSA [modular open systems approach] solutions like the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard and the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR)/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS); as well as the Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA).
This session details how MOSA strategies can enable EW and SIGINT designers to leverage the best of commercial RF, signal-processing, and AI innovations to field technology more quickly and more affordably over the life of the system.
As new chip technologies are incorporated into cards designed to align with the SOSA Technical Standard and OpenVPX, physical cooling limits become more challenging and impact system design.
Uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs) continue to be force multipliers for U.S. military operations.
