Military systems in the new century are becoming increasingly complex, network centric, and information intensive. Existing ad-hoc test and evaluation (T&E) approaches are facing increasing challenges to cope with these complexities. An open, modular, standards-based embedded instrumentation (EI) architecture (OMEA) is proposed to leapfrog the capabilities of T&E. The OMEA embraces an "all digital" solution and rapidly emerging commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software technologies. These technologies include smart sensor networks, time synchronization for sensor network, reconfigurable hardware, model-based design, and software defined radio. The OMEA architecture will rationalize the myriad of heterogeneous El and control systems. It will normalize the El interfaces enabling easier and more cost-effective system design, development, procurement, integration and testing. With the growth of digital control platforms, it is possible to design-in El capabilities to sense and collect critical performance data without requiring additional sensors. Any military vendor or system integrator will be able to realize this "controller is the instrument" vision by using the proposed OMEA architecture.

defense leaders and industry professionals gathered at the annual systems and Software Technology conference (SSTC) to share and improve methods of transformation throughout the US military. The SSTC offered professionals and attendees the opportunity to engage in conversation with the aim to improve and implement the newest best practices in the areas of software technology and military advancement by creating an environment of open discussion at the speaker luncheons, plenary sessions, and exhibitor tracks. The SSTC, co-sponsored by United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, Department of the Agency, and Utah State University, brings together experts from academia, industry, and the Department of defense. Participants gleaned valuable information and lessons learned from more than 175 presentations and tutorials offered in seven concurrent tracks, including agile development, architecture, future technologies, and net-centricity.
