Because MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) is an approach and not itself a standard, solutions that support this vision can be achieved through many different means as long as interfaces and communications protocols are based on open standards.

System integrators need to ensure that the sensor systems and the critical data they collect and store are protected from falling into the wrong hands.

Upgraded systems require security to be built-in to protect sensitive mission information and maintain warfighter technology advantage.
