Sensor Open Systems Architecture
What it actually means
The open standard defining modular hardware and software architectures for sensor systems — radar, EO/IR, EW — so sensor payloads and processing modules can interoperate and be competed across platforms. One of the tri-service open standards (with FACE and others) implementing the MOSA mandate in a specific domain.
Where you'll meet it
Sensor and electronic warfare procurements citing open-architecture conformance.
