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. These platforms not only deliver lethality in wartime but also feed the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) thirst for sensor data, collecting critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) during peacetime. Performance and capability requirements flowing out of the DoD are driving innovation at the payload, sensor, avionics, and communications level.
Powered by Military Embedded Systems, the Uncrewed Systems Virtual Conference is designed to drive awareness and thought leadership around embedded electronics technology for autonomous systems from artificial intelligence (AI) to signal processing to avionics safety certification; it will also examine strategies for applying a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) in such designs.

MOSA and COTS are reshaping defense electronics designs. Custom electronics were the assumed path where SWaP is critical. Open standards hardware like VNX+ is changing that.

This webinar explores the implementation of 100 Gbps Ethernet connectivity in rugged military computer systems, specifically focusing on scalable systems using open standards like VPX and SOSA architectures.
