Open Architectures
SHORTEST ROUTE TO DEPLOYMENT WITH COTS OPEN ARCHITECTURE PLATFORMS
Budget limitations and cost-cutting mandates have led governments to adopt an Open systems standards approach with the goal of enhancing innovation and competition while streamlining deployments.
Using modular open systems architecture technologies allows developers to re-use components across multiple platforms and applications. It also lets defense program managers adapt quicker and be more responsive to integrating new technologies or satisfying updated user requirements.
Kontron is committed to meeting Open Systems Architecture challenges in defense systems with our participation in standards activities such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA™) Consortium and by engineering advanced products.
