SOSA and Small Form Factors

November 10, 2022

It is common knowledge that the 3U OpenVPX form factor is integral to The Sensor Open Systems Architecture(SOSA) Technical Standard. It enables interoperability and commonality in military systems for radar, electronic warfare, signals intelligence, and more.

What is less known is that a smaller form factor is also being included in the standard. Applications where this is needed have requirements for even further reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP), adding more challenges for embedded computing designers.

In this webcast, industry experts Mark Littlefield of Elma and John Riley of Samtec will look at how the SOSA standard is leveraging small form factor standards such as VITA 90 (VNX+) to address these smaller footprint needs.
