When a new vehicle is being planned and designed, engineers, system architects, program managers, and acquisition personnel typically debate three procurement options for the subsystems.

For many years, deployed systems used direct attached storage (DAS) to host the operating system (OS) and application (APP) software for embedded computers in deployed vehicles.

In addition to radar and other similar sensors, many cameras are now being included in the sensor suite. Whether they're infrared for nighttime operations or traditional daytime cameras, they have higher resolution than ever and continuously stream data (frames).

Processing the data at the edge creates new risks: If the aircraft is downed or lost, the data may become available to an adversary. Data passed on for further analysis before storage may also be vulnerable. But these risks can be mitigated by...

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of Ethernet networking capabilities that transmit time-sensitive data across standard Ethernet networks.

Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) is essential for the National Security Agency (NSA) strategy to deliver secure cybersecurity solutions. The CSfC program leverages commercial encryption technologies and products to provide much-needed cybersecurity solutions quickly.

Armed forces operating in remote and austere battlefield environments must overcome a range of emerging threats and vulnerabilities that can result in disruptions to critical mission connectivity.

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) aims to connect sensors from the Army, Air Force, and Navy into a single cloud-like network that will enable swifter, more informed decision making. Learn more in this blog.

The MOSA directive has accelerated the adoption of a variety of MOSA supporting standards, including SOSA, CMOSS, FACE, VICTORY, and GVA, by the Army, Air Force, and Navy.

The concept of edge computing describes how data can be processed by distributed local computational resources that are physically close to the sensors collecting the data.

MOSA supporting standards dramatically improve the in-vehicle situation by reframing the boundary between the A-kit (the fairly permanent set of equipment on the vehicle) and B-kit (the more variable set of equipment installed based on the vehicle variant or specific mission).
