The paper, entitled “Applying Open Standard Electronic Architectures for Ground Vehicles,” provided an in-depth introduction and overview of the advantages of MOSA open architecture solutions and the best practices for bringing new capabilities to ground vehicles.

Some environmental constraints for deployed military computing systems are operational temperature, humidity, sand, dust, vibration, shock/basic, leakage (immersion), steam and water jet cleaning, rapid decompression, contamination by fluids (e.g. oil, fuel, cleaning), nuclear hardness, and input voltage.

What are the benefits of using a modular open systems approach to upgrade legacy military electronics systems?

An NSA Type 1 encryption product is certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) for use in cryptographically securing classified United States Government (USG) information, when appropriately keyed.

Certification of new version of Cisco’s traffic filtering firewall and VPN gateway software for Pacstar 451/453/455 further extends PacStar leadership in Tactical Networking and Classified Wireless.

Military-display designers continue to face stringent size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints while integrating commercial innovations like HD – and soon 4K – into systems that must work with legacy sensors and interfaces while also complying with a variety of open architectures and standards.

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

High-performance router + switch integrates secure Cisco ESR-6300 embedded services router (ESR) and ESS-3300 embedded services switch (ESS) technology into single SWaP-optimized ultra-rugged chassis.
