The U.S. military is investing more heavily in autonomous systems while simultaneously reforming acquisition processes and practices to get the latest autonomous systems and payload technology into warfighters’ hands more quickly. These efforts include embracing modular open systems approach (MOSA) strategies to more quickly adapt commercial technology. 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 Autonomous Systems Virtual Conference. Registration/event page here.
