MOSA Strategies for Army Aviation and Ground Platforms

Key Army aviation and ground systems such as flight avionics, navigation technology, vetronics, PNT, security, weapons systems, sensor payloads, and the like are all enabled by MOSA (modular open systems approach) techniques. MOSA enables interoperability not just across platforms but also between systems, as hardware and software components can be reused from one helicopter avionics system to another, for example. The Future Airborne Capability Environment, or FACE, Technical Standard is an example of MOSA as it enables the reuse of software elements across multiple avionics platforms. The Army has also embraced the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR)/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards [CMOSS] initiative and the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard for ground platforms. This session will both explore how MOSA strategies like these improve missions critical Army systems and cover how MOSA strategies can be applied throughout development, certification, and procurement.

This session is part of our MOSA Virtual Summit. Registration/event page here.
