Tuesday, August 13, 2019 at Noon U.S. EDT
The new Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) being spearheaded by the U.S
. Air Force, Army, and Navy seeks to develop standards and architectures that provide uniformity, interoperability, and open architectures while simultaneously driving down procurement and operational costs for new C4ISR platforms.
This one-hour Technical Webinar from the editors of Tech Briefs Media examines the impact this new initiative will have on OpenVPX. Three of the industry's leading experts provide insight on this important topic.
An audience Q&A is included.
