Leveraging Open Architecture and Common Standards for Autonomous Systems

As the U.S. military across the services and in Special Operations looks to deploy autonomous systems more quickly to the battlefield, pressure is being placed on the Department of Defense (DoD) and suppliers to speed up acquisition and leverage a modular open systems approach (MOSA) to more quickly adapt commercial technology. The fast deployment of autonomous technology to Ukraine is encouraging investment in faster deployment of uncrewed system technology to the warfighter. Open architecture initiatives such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, and the Future Airborne Capability Environment, or FACE, are enabling faster acquisition and adoption of commercial innovation in flight controls, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) payloads, communications, and other hardware and software designs. This session covers how open architectures and plug-and-play solutions are driving autonomous system designs.

This session is part of our Uncrewed Systems Virtual Conference. Registration/event page here.
