The push toward open architectures and a modular open systems approach (MOSA) – an approach mandated by the Air Force, Army, and Navy for all new military systems and upgrades – embraces open standards such as OpenVPX, the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard, and the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Technical Standard. Many commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software solutions are designed to be aligned, conformant, and compliant with these various MOSA efforts as they are required to meet ever more stringent reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements. MOSA strategies are also key to solving the interoperability issues and vendor lock in electrical power systems, especially in an enterprise architecture framework. In this webcast, experts discuss how MOSA strategies take advantage of COTS, address the hardware and software solutions gap within electrical power systems, and enable reduced SWaP.
