ALEXANDRIA, Va. and WOBURN, Mass. Parry Labs and Concurrent announced a nonexclusive partnership that the two companies say will strive to rapidly deliver scalable Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, aligned technologies that answer the needs of users in the modern battlespace.

It’s been nearly three years since ratification of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard 1.0 and its impact is being felt across the services as requests for SOSA aligned products are finding their way into program requirements. SOSA, an example of the modular open systems approach (MOSA) mandated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), is also changing the way government leverages commercial technology and existing open standards like VPX. To learn more, I gathered a roundtable of SOSA Consortium members to discuss SOSA’s impact on the community, business practices, common misconceptions, and the future of what SOSA may look like five or 10 years down the road.
