Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA)

Curtiss-Wright’s modular open-systems approach (MOSA) uses industry-standard technologies and a scalable approach to subsystem and module design that delivers rapid innovation, increased vendor choice, application portability, and greater interoperability. A modular open systems approach establishes common mechanical, electrical, protocol, and interface requirements defined by the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard, Common/C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS), Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE), Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability (VICTORY) and numerous other interoperability standards for aerospace and defense applications.

When system engineers leverage building blocks built to MOSA requirements, they access a greater ecosystem of products and IP to simplify their integration, test, and qualification - while reducing program cost and risk.
