Articles and White Papers

• Army Systems and MOSA eBook: At MOSA, LCR demoed a modular approach: rugged SOSA-aligned chassis, thermal management that holds under load, and integration that de-risks schedules. Download our MOSA eBook to learn how the Army is leveraging open architectures and open standards from the pages of Military Embedded Systems.
• SOSA Approach Using VITA Form Factors in ATR, SAVE, or Rackmount Enclosures: The MOSA Strategy in Support of U.S. Warfighters: By utilizing VITA form factors within the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) framework, integrators can develop C5ISR systems with off-the-shelf VITA plug-in-cards (PICs) and pair them with the appropriate enclosure for deployment on military platforms. Bill Pilaud, Chief Solutions Architect at LCR, explains how integrated systems in ATR, SAVE, and rackmount enclosures as part of the MOSA strategy are supporting U.S. warfighters.
• The Next Generation of Open Systems Embedded Computing Standards:William Pilaud, Director of Systems Architecture at LCR, and other industry experts talked with John Keller during the Embedded Tech Trends event about the next generation of open-systems embedded computing standards
• Bridging the Cooling Gap in High-Speed Embedded Systems: Steve Gudknecht, Product Marketing and Communications Manager, and Jordan Sudlow, Mechanical Design Engineer, discuss new chassis-level cooling techniques for VITA 48.2 chassis using air or liquid assist
