Military aircraft avionics are traditionally a collection of subsystems, each dedicated to a particular fixed function. Each of them occupies an enclosure with well-defined dimensions, mounting points, and electrical interfaces for sensors, antennas, power supplies and control ports.
Changing the function within any subsystem is often quite limited, so that an upgrade to improve performance or capabilities usually means replacing the entire subsystem with a new one.
|
This article explains that upgrading to a SOSA aligned system can mean huge cost and production savings as you can keep existing subsystems in place instead of replacing them completely when an upgrade is needed. You can replace one SOSA-compliant plug-in card with another, as an example, to add new device technology, higher performance levels, faster computing power, and higher signal and data bandwidths.

"The efforts put into this platform demonstrate our commitment and the value of the alignment and interoperability goals driving the SOSA Consortium mission," said Bob Sgandurra, Pentek's director of product management.
"Pentek has worked tirelessly with key suppliers in the open architecture community to put this platform together. With the Model 8256, customers can now immediately start integrating and building their application."

Understanding Conformance to the SOSA Technical Standard Webinar
|
The SOSA Technical Standard, applies a modular open systems approach (MOSA) to high-performance defense sensor systems such as radar, electronic warfare, and SIGINT platforms.
During this webinar, experts involved in the SOSA Consortium and the standard's development will discuss the elements of conformance to the Technical Standard, how the upcoming 1.0 release will address it, and considerations for the certification process.
