Understanding SOSA | e-Book 2024

The SOSA™ (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) Consortium is developing common open standards for designing, building, and deploying hardware, software, and firmware components for sensor-based electronic systems used by the military. Contributing members to SOSA are U.S. government organizations including the U.S. DoD, Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as key representatives from industry and universities. SOSA consists of a group of existing open standards that provide a flexible foundation for embedded systems used in Radar, EO/IR, SIGINT, EW, and communications. Objectives include vendor interoperability, lower procurement costs, easy technology upgrades, and longer life cycles of these mission-critical systems.

This eBook provides an overview of the SOSA standard, covering challenges, successful strategies, and illustrative examples from key companies with a focus on electronic systems for RF & Microwave applications.
