Defense Embedded Computing Terms

Common COTS hardware, VPX/OpenVPX, SOSA, MIL-STD, avionics databus, and C4ISR terms used when selecting rugged embedded systems for defense and aerospace programs.

COTS / Commercial Off-The-Shelf

Standard commercial hardware adapted, integrated, or ruggedized for military, aerospace, and defense embedded computing use.

SWaP

Size, Weight, and Power constraints that drive deployed system choices for vehicles, aircraft, shipboard equipment, and compact mission computers.

VPX / OpenVPX

High-speed serial backplane architecture based on VITA 46 and VITA 65, widely used for defense embedded computing and modular payload systems.

SOSA

Sensor Open Systems Architecture, a DoD open systems approach built around OpenVPX concepts for vendor interoperability and faster technology refresh.
