The Open Sensor Systems Architecture (SOSA) Consortium emerged as a set of standards that served to define open standard electronic architectures that ensured component interoperability, reduced costs, encouraged innovation, and helped ensure product supply. necessary.
But what hardware requirements distinguish SOSA from VITA VPX?
Power supply: SOSA limits the power used by the cards to VS1 (12V), 3.3V AUX and VBAT for primary power. The VS2 (3.3V) and VS3 (5V) options supported by the VITA standard are not used for SOSA modules.
Hardware Management – The SOSA architecture includes system management requirements that enable you to identify a module, monitor its status, run integrated tests, and perform other related management tasks. To meet these requirements, the modules must include an intelligent platform management interface.
Maintenance Ports – The maintenance ports on the SOSA modules are intended strictly for system maintenance use.
Slot Profiles: VITA 65 OpenVPX provides dozens of VPX 6U and 3U VPX slot profiles. The SOSA reference architecture restricts valid VPX primary slot profiles to a small set of three 6U and six 3U profiles. There are also a number of secondary profiles that are variants of the primary profiles. Furthermore, all SOSA profiles have compatible requirements for power plane utilization, data plane protocols, GPIO implementation, maintenance port implementation, and system management.
Cooling and Slot Pitch: SOSA has defined slot pitch requirements as 1.00" for conduction and liquid cooling modules, and 1.5" for airflow modules.
Bandwidth and Connections: SOSA does not fully define bandwidth requirements, but acknowledges that bandwidth requirements are increasing. However, SOSA's base plate connectors also include those defined in the VITA 66 standard.
SOSA Software Requirements: The SOSA requirements for the software operating environment include recommendations for a runtime environment (RTE) that references the FACE technical standard, among others (the VITA VPX standards do not define the software environment, therefore, the recommendations of SOSA RTE are outside the scope of this article)

On 2019, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a memo, signed by the Secretaries of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, mandating the use of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The memo stated that MOSA supporting standards should be included in all requirements, programming and development activities for future weapon system modifications and new start development programs to the maximum extent possible. In fact, this mandate for MOSA is even codified into a United States law that states all major defense acquisition programs (MDAP) are to be designed and developed using a MOSA open architecture.
MOSA itself is not a technical standard, but an acquisition and design strategy that prioritizes the use of open standards-based technology. The MOSA directive has accelerated the adoption of a variety of open standards, such as SOSA or CMOSS, that have been adopted by the three military branches.
Adopting a MOSA open architecture allows:
Seamless Sharing across Domains and Machine
Rapid Innovation and Integration
Vendor Independence and Reduced Obsolescence
Life Cycle Supportability
Minimized SWaP

In the automotive industry and the vehicle cockpit multifunction touchscreen displays have replaced the gauges and indicators of the past. High performance SoCs are being used to not only convey basic information to drivers but to achieve augmented vision and improved situational awareness in a human-machine-interface, which allows the driver to visually interpret large amounts of disparate information.
In avionis, GPUs and related software drivers used in these high reliability and safety critical automotive systems will adopt more safety qualified electronics over time. These new systems will be fit for purpose, because they will be designed to meet functional safety standards, enable deterministic computing and software will be written in conformance with the MISRA-C guideline for safety critical software in accordance with safety standards such as ISO 26262.
Workflows: a current trend in automotive is to consolidate multiple cockpit functions into a cockpit domain controller (CDC) where multiple traditional vehicle ECUs can consolidate as software workloads on a single ECU. Often times, workloads that have deterministic compute deadlines may not share resources with other workloads, and this is important for the deterministic safety HMI workloads. The Arm Mali-G78AE Flexible Partitioning feature is an innovative feature that allows boot time HW separation of the GPU into 1, 2, or 4 appropriately sized GPUs. These GPUs can be allocated to the different workloads.
Safe HMI architectures: there are many cases os use for ISO 26262 ASIL B and ASIL ASIL B . The integration of safety content with non-safety content on an instrument cluster is commonplace. In current systems rendering may be performed by ASIL Quality Managed QM hardware and software. The safety mechanism in place is an ASIL B. The most common method is using dedicated hardware in the display controller that generates a CRC. This CRC is compared with a refence CRC value supplied by the application. If they match, you know the QM graphics system is working correctly and the safety related content is displayed correctly. However, this approach does not scale well if this criterion is not met. To support a scalable approach for the future, designs will transition to system architectures that support safety applications running on safety qualified applications cores.
Safe HMI application development: safety applications in avionics take advantage of GPU acceleration enabled by the OpenGL® Safety Critical API. In the future, the VkCore Functional Safety Suite for Mali-G78AE will support OpenGL SC 1.0.1, 2.0 and the Vulkan SC 1.0 API that is under development by the Khronos organization. HMI designers will take advantage of HMI tools that support a workflow allowing for tagging of certain data and/or surfaces for safety and non-safety rendering domains. The ecosystem of HMI tool partners will support workflows for an easy transition from ASIL QM HMIs to Safe HMIs that are composited safely with non-safety HMIs.
Strong Partnerships: as automotive systems become more autonomous and as artificial intelligence and machine learning becomes more pervasive, technology partnerships in the automotive world will become more commonplace.

RadarView is Cambridge Pixel's PC-based radar visualisation software. It is a ready-to-run Windows application that receives, processes and scan converts multiple channels of radar video into PPI, A-Scan and B-Scan formats. It is designed for applications that require a cost-effective and easy-to-use display capability for primary and secondary radars; RadarView runs on any standard Windows PC.
RadarView can interface to network video formats or, when used with the HPx family of radar input cards, it can interface to radar video from a wide range of radar types. Presenting a familiar Windows graphical user interface, the software supports the display of map data, overlay symbology and multiple windows of scan-converted video. Up to four PPI windows are available, in addition to the main application PPI window. Each PPI window provides an independent view of the radar video(s), offering massive flexibility in the presentation of the data and allowing the display to be spread over multiple screens.
RadarView also provides a built-in radar record and replay capability. Connect to the radar source and simultaneously visualise and record the radar video. This capability is invaluable when configuring a new installation or testing a radar. Capture video onto the local hard disk of the computer and analyse the data off-line is also possible using the RadarView display capabilities. Recorded video may be moved between computers using any convenient media.
RadarView also accepts up to two camera video inputs, via DirectShow device or network RTSP source. Additionally, if the camera uses Pelco-D pan-tilt-zoom commands, RadarView can be used to steer the camera.
