Realizing cognitive EW in a single VPX slot
April 29, 2026
Electronic warfare (EW) has realized evolutionary leaps in the last decade with the fusion of several key technological categories including heterogeneous processing, high-fidelity mixed-signal converters, and the defense industry’s adoption of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard, the C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS), and VPX architectures. The continuing trend towards increased performance in a shrinking footprint has now made possible a complete cognitive EW capability in a single VPX slot with all of the associated size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) and scalability benefits.
SOSA e-Book: Leading editorial on the impact of the SOSA Technical Standard in military applications
The SOSA Technical Standard is arguably the fastest growing standard within the U.S. defense industry as new members join the consortium each month and defense programs demand more SOSA content in their requirements. That industry enthusiasm and support for the SOSA approach is why we have compiled this SOSA e-Book.
