Open standards and open architectures are enabling greater performance and reduced life cycle costs for hardware and software systems in ground, air, and space applications.  Embedded open standards – enabled by open architectures – carry a heritage in space, and their footprint is only growing. Open architectures also are enabling reuse of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components in military terrestrial applications such as the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA). Join us to learn how open architectures, open standards, and reuse initiatives can be applied to space electronics systems.
