On Electronic Engineering Jounal's podcast program Fish Fry, host Amelia Dalton speaks with David Jedynak of Curtiss-Wright about the past, present, and future of VITA standards.

For critical and intelligent deployed embedded modules, air-flow-through (AFT) cooling describes an approach that brings the coolant much closer to heat-generating electronics than standard conduction-cooled approaches.

The Sensor Open Systems Architecture Technical Standard (SOSA) – which will bring many benefits to designers of radar systems – will also have a beneficial effect on the design of electronic warfare (EW) systems.

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is the world's leading supplier of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer, networking, and data storage solutions for defense and aerospace platforms. Our flexible subsystem designs can support legacy data buses, like MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429, making it fast, simple, and cost-effective to replace aging aircraft systems with modern high-performance equipment.

To maintain warfighter overmatch, the US military must deploy advanced technologies for situational awareness to the edge of the battlefield.

Military experts are developing new enabling technologies to help unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, submarines, and surface vessels swarm and make decisions without human intervention.

Top commanders seek to embed EW capability at virtually all echelons as warfighters seek to make up for years of lost time.

The standards currently being defined by the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Consortium will deliver many clear benefits to system integrators designing embedded sensor-processing systems. The SOSA Technical Standard will define common pinouts that foster and ease interoperability.
