WASHINGTON, D.C. Mercury Systems is highlighting a portfolio of secure computing solutions aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard at the 2025 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting.

Maintaining technological superiority requires rapid adoption of new commercial technology. System-on-module (SoM)-based designs can address the industry’s critical need for quickly deploying technology to keep pace with evolving requirements and adversarial advancements. SoM architecture can foster faster development, greater adaptability, and cost efficiency.

A new General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) vehicle powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and designed in line with the modular open systems approach (MOSA) could serve as the “quarterback” of the Marine Corps’ future mobile reconnaissance battalions, according to a GDLS official involved with the program.

2025 AUSA ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION--WASHINGTON, D.C. Elma Electronic now offers the industry’s first development chassis for VNX+ (VITA 90) modules. The 3-slot FlexVNX+ -- aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, approach -- enables rapid board bring-up, validation, and testing of VNX+ plug-in cards (PICs), allowing system engineers to quickly and effectively evaluate and integrate VNX+ payload modules. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. Ultra I&C will showcase a suite of command and control technologies at the 2025 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Expo, including its Knox multifunction processors, Maxwell artificial intelligence (AI) agent, and Apex orchestration platform, the company announced in a statement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. One Stop Systems (OSS) plans to display its newest high-performance computing and storage systems at the 2025 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition, the company announced.

The FACE® and SOSA® Consortia Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) will take place virtually on October 7 and 8, 2025. The meeting is open to the public and there is no charge to attend. Please visit https://meet.opengroup.org/event/FACEandSOSAPAPERS/home to sign up for Day 1 and Day 2.

WATERLOO, Canada. Pixus Technologies released a new line of 3U OpenVPX air transport rack (ATR) enclosures designed for use with 3U OpenVPX and boards aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard, the company announced in a statement.

LONDON – DSEI UK 2025. Effective combat-vehicle technology today is being driven by demand for networked sensors and distributed computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and open architecture, Bill Guyan, SVP, Business Development & President, International, Leonardo DRS, told me this morning at DSEI UK 2025. We also talked about how defense procurement for European nations differs from that of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Guyan also shared the biggest technological innovation he’s seen since his time as a U.S. Army tank commander. Edited excerpts follow.

LONDON -- DSEI UK 2025. Speaking with embedded computing suppliers at the DSEI 2025 show in London this week, I’m hearing growing support of requirements for open standards and open architectures, even if they don’t necessarily know about the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandate for MOSA, or modular open systems approach, content.
