Sensors Open System Architecture
Abstract
The Sensors Open System Architecture (SOSA) project develops common hardware standards and associated software interfaces in support of the development for modalities of sensors, such as: RADAR, SIGINT, EW, Communications and EO/IR (development of standards and open architecture interfaces for Hardware and Electrical/Mechanical interfaces) in support of multiple airborne reconnaissance platforms, both manned and unmanned. Its objectives are to develop, demonstrate, and rapidly upgrade/iterate advanced, interoperable, multi-platform solutions to reduce the find, fix, target, and track kill chain timeline, and to provide safe separation and collision avoidance for remotely piloted aircraft through development of abstraction interfaces for sense (such as RADAR, ADS-B, TCAS, Next Generation Sensors, ASIP, and ASARS) and avoid logic. This project is designed to support development of the Next Generation Sensors program, as well as other AFLCMC/WI emerging and program of record needs. As part of the development effort SOSA will be funding and supporting first article development of key common hardware solutions. The Open Architecture SIL (System Integration Laboratory) that supports SOSA will continue development of common hardware standards and associated software interfaces and provide a conformance/compliance program for industry partners and other DoD services. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver technology and sensor capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
