Military avionics designers have been leveraging MOSA strategies and open architecture initiatives for crewed and uncrewed military aviation platforms for the past two decades. The most recent – and most impactful – has been the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Technical Standard, which enables the reuse of software elements across multiple avionics platforms. This session covers how strategies like the FACE Technical standard improve not only avionics platforms in military aircraft, but also airworthiness, security, safety certification, navigation, security, and interoperability with other standards and military platforms.

Designers of military radar, electronic warfare (EW); intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR); signals intelligence (SIGINT); and other sensor-based applications are leveraging open architectures to enable quick and cost-effective upgrades of technology to better combat complex adversarial threats. MOSA strategies for these sensor systems will also be critical to enabling the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) effort, which facilitates delivery of real-time situational awareness data across multiple domains. This session will cover how MOSA initiatives like the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, edition 1.0 (SOSA), and others enable faster and more efficient adaptation of commercial signal processing, high-performance computing, RF, and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations for military sensor systems.

Applying and adapting MOSA initiatives enables defense system integrators to more quickly integrate innovation from the commercial industry such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) solutions, high-performance processors, 5G technology, autonomous systems, and others. AI and commercial connectivity solutions will be critical to enabling the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) effort. This session will cover how MOSA strategies leverage open architectures to more quickly adapt and deploy these technologies to the battlefield.
