The MOSA design philosophy, which relates to hardware, software, and system architectures, increases warfighter effectiveness by simplifying the deployment of new capabilities.

Now celebrating its 10th year, The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture, Or SOSA, Consortium has never been stronger, as products aligned to the SOSA Technical Standard grow in demand in military applications.

Military system integrators are exploring how they can best leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge of the battlefield.

Military threats are accelerating at machine speed, so military forces are adding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to their arsenals of sensor, signal, and image processing to analyze vast streams of data in real time.

Military and aerospace defense integrators, especially in the signal-processing application space, have typically turned to low-latency FPGA devices as coprocessors for signal-processing CPUs, forming the technical pillar for ingesting and processing massive amounts of time-critical radar and sensor data.

A successful model-based engineering effort for rugged system infrastructure design will result in shorter development cycles, fewer failures and rework, more innovation, and ultimately higher-quality products.

Emerging standards such as VITA 100 and VNX+ will double board and backplane speeds, add a new board size, and help make tiny computers possible for handheld devices and uncrewed devices.

High performance embedded module and system designers must understand the technical considerations required to fully realize the true benefits of 100G technology.
