With light bulbs, it was widespread standards for the size of sockets, so that customers would not be locked into proprietary bulbs. In more recent times, it can be seen in the \u201cuniversal\u201d part of Universal Serial Bus\u201d, or USB, enabling a wide range of machines to use the same ports and draw the same power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The point of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opengroup.org\/sosa\">SOSA consortium<\/a> is to create the same kind of interoperable architecture, freeing the military customer from being vendor locked into a dead product and allowing a whole market to function supporting existing ports. Army Col. Kevin Finch, program manager for electronic warfare and cyber, said exactly what he didn\u2019t want was a program that will cost $50 million to upgrade without offering any more capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finch is part of the SOSA consortium. SOSA\u2019s initial focus is creating a unified system architecture for radar, electro-optical\/infa-red, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and communications, all broadly in the category of \u201cemit and receive structured energy, and process it.\u201d For the electronic warfare operator, looking to plug different payload packages into different delivery systems, that kind of interoperability is a boon in the field, expanding options without sacrificing reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people who more often rely on just receiving signals, rather than actively fighting in the electromagnetic spectrum, the goal is that this functionality is seamless and invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPilots might not notice a difference,\u201d said Dave Jedynak, the chief technology officer of contractor Curtiss Wright, \u201cbut everyone else in the supply chain will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked about the potential for cybersecurity weaknesses in the standards, John Bowling of the SOSA steering committee and a technical expert for interoperability and architecture at the Air Force, argued that the goal is to build systems within standards that don\u2019t force poor choices in design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou could take this and still build an insecure system, but our goal is to guide people in the right way to make it secure,\u201d said Bowling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A shared standard is helpful but insufficient for security on its own. Should security concerns about vulnerabilities introduced through the standard emerge, the standard itself can be updated. It is a living document, an agreement guiding production of the plugs for plug-and-play parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consortium work is a consensus process among competitors, which can take time and be difficult and involves a lot of meetings. The alternative, as panelists stressed time and time again, is a military where when a light bulb breaks, it has to buy a whole new lamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To avoid the dreaded &#8220;vendor lock,&#8221; industry and end users plan to work together to create tools for plug-and-play sensor and emitter interoperability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":76056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":59,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[59,106,12,29,32,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3021],"class_list":["post-26329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ausa","category-daily-brief","category-electronic-warfare","category-home","category-newsletters","category-show-reporter"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"36WJ5D62FFC4RIJMAAFA72Q45U","arc_canonical_url":"\/show-reporter\/ausa\/2019\/10\/17\/electronic-warfare-as-easy-as-changing-a-light-bulb\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Electronic warfare as easy as changing a light bulb - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"To avoid the dreaded &quot;vendor lock,&quot; industry and end users plan to work together to create tools for plug-and-play sensor and emitter interoperability.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Electronic warfare as easy as changing a light bulb\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"To avoid the dreaded &quot;vendor lock,&quot; industry and end users plan to work together to create tools for plug-and-play sensor and emitter interoperability.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/show-reporter\/ausa\/2019\/10\/17\/electronic-warfare-as-easy-as-changing-a-light-bulb\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-10-17T15:52:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:16:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
