Pacific Defense Captures USN Contract for Advanced SOSA-Enabled Electronic Warfare Systems
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.-- Pacific Defense, the leader in C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) products and integrated mission systems, has received notification from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) of a $18.4M contract award for the delivery, integration, and optimization of a networked set of integrated Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) systems and Electronic Warfare (EW) signal processing software suites to address emerging peer and near-peer capabilities. EW algorithms must continually evolve to address more sophisticated threats in a highly congested spectrum, and as the mission changes, these EW systems for Dr. Waleed Barnawi’s Expeditionary Cyber/EW and Naval Information Warfare programs will provide the processing framework to host multiple capabilities quickly and support re-programmability.
“Pacific Defense and ONR developers are hosting new electronic warfare algorithms on Open Standard Architecture systems. Hosting advanced processing capabilities on open SOSA systems provides significant advantages in terms of capability, speed of technology refresh, and reduced costs,” said Frank Pietryka, VP of EW, SIGINT, and Autonomy at Pacific Defense.
For the contracted effort, Pacific Defense will utilize the SOSA / Modular Open Radio Frequency Architecture (MORA) standard to enable real-time operation of multiple EW applications by simultaneously sharing SDR resources and rapid transition from fully automated, real-time processing to interactive analytic analysis. The MORA standard enables portability between SOSA-aligned systems and delivers an open interface for radio frequency (RF) systems providing efficiency, flexibility, reusability, and scalability while facilitating management, health monitoring, and sharing of raw and/or processed data.

The awarded contract has an 18-month period of performance running through October 2026 with primary places of work in El Segundo, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, and Nashua, NH.
