Electronics Standards Survey: Annotated Briefing

Abstract

This briefing documents the findings of a survey of electronic standards and architectures. The objective of the survey was to determine the role DoD could pursue to take advantage of the large commercial electronics technology base for future military systems. Conducted by a team comprised of OSD and IDA personnel, the survey reviewed past, present, and evolving future electronic standards, focusing on computer processors, interfaces, data bases, and software technologies. The overall conclusion was that there was no single universal technology or standards solution that meets all military application needs. Rather, families of standards are needed to cover the broad scope of DoD systems requirements. The team recommended that OSD take a more active role to encourage the military services to work with industry to formulate families of open systems standards that promote the application of commercial technologies where appropriate.
