Navy turns to Spectranetix for SOSA-aligned open-systems-standards command-and-control computer system
ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. Navy researchers needed an experimental command-and-control computer system that not only complies with open-systems standards, but also provides a secure and rapidly reconfigurable architecture. They found their solution from Spectranetix Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif.
Officials of the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Va., announced a $9.2 million contract to Spectranetix last week for the Modular Open Suite of Standards/Sensor Open Systems Architecture Node Based Resilient Networking and Electronics Warfare Orchestration at the Edge project.
Company experts will develop and demonstrate a command, control, communications, computers intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) implementation of the Navy’s Enabling Dynamic Operational Radio Frequency (ENDOR) architecture.

This experimental command-and-control architecture will align to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) of the Open Group in San Francisco, as well as to the U.S. military's Modular Open Suite of Standards MOSA guidelines.
The project also is expected to take advantage of the military C4ISR and Electronic Warfare (EW) Modular Open Suite of Standards known as CMOSS.
Navy researchers and Spectranetix will use this open-systems computer architecture in an implementation of the Navy’s Enabling Dynamic Operational Radio Frequency (ENDOR) architecture.
The C4ISR architecture is to pursue the goal of providing a secure tactical computing infrastructure that systems designers can update rapidly and dynamically with new tasking and applications.
This project is part of the N00014-21-S-B001 Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology” solicitation, which was issued in September 2021.
On this contract Spectranetix will do the work in Sunnyvale, Calif., and should be finished by March 2024. For more information contact Spectranetix online at www.spectranetix.com, or the Office of Naval Research at www.onr.navy.mil.
