The ability to provide high-voltage power on ground vehicle platforms is a rapidly growing requirement as high peak power is often needed to accelerate a high-inertia load.

From the outside, the turret system on a ground vehicle may appear a straightforward mechanism.

System integrators need to ensure that the sensor systems and the critical data they collect and store are protected from falling into the wrong hands.

Industry standards and guidelines such as MOSA, SOSA, CMOSS, SAVE, and FACE are driving the latest developments in enclosures, chassis, and backplane databuses, as small for factors are ready to take center stage.

Backed by broad support from government and industry, the release of SOSA Technical Standard 1.0 promises a new era of open standards-based system integration with flexibility and interoperability as its hallmarks.

Awards are in three tiers -- ranging from platinum, the highest, to the gold awards, and finally to the silver awards.
