Executive Interview: Space system designs, RF signal chain, MOSA in space
June 11, 2025
High-reliability radio-frequency (RF) components are in demand for various military space missions, as is the use of commercial innovation in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and other space domains, Eliot Fine, Product Line Manager for Space and High Reliability Components at Analog Devices, told me in a recent McHale Report podcast. During the podcast, we also covered the space electronics market, radiation-hardening techniques, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) modular open system approach (MOSA) mandate’s impact on space systems, and details on the RF signal chain, a concept developed by Fine’s team at Analog Devices. Edited excerpts follow.
MOSA e-Book: Leading editorial on MOSA strategies for military applications
Backed by a 2019 U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) memo from the leaders of the Air Force, Army, and Navy mandating the use of a modular open systems approach (MOSA) in new programs and upgrades, MOSA strategies are part of most conversations at U.S. defense industry events.
