The goal of reducing the cost of equipping Army vehicles with new capabilities, while adding increasing interoperability and flexibility of operation, can be accomplished through the use of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), a technical and business strategy for designing an affordable and adaptable system.

Building connected and workable communications in remote environments presents unique challenges, but the right technology can keep users connected in even contested and harsh environments.

This paper aims to put MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) into perspective and enable you, whether a defense contractor, a decision-maker at the DoD, or a public policymaker, to put the increasingly relevant MOSA to use better.

This essential guide describes MOSA's significance for defense technology and the roles standards like SOSA, CMFF, CMOSS, VICTORY, GVA, and FACE play.

This white paper was presented at the 2021 NDIA Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium, Vehicle Electronics Architectures Technical Session, August 10-12, 2021.

This white paper explores the performance and SWaP benefits of multicore processors and their challenges in safety-critical applications, and how to overcome them.

We examine the 2019 tri-services memo regarding MOSA and what open standards such as SOSA, FACE, and VICTORY mean for today’s military programs.

Read about key similarities and differences between GVA and VICTORY and the benefits of using such frameworks in land vehicle upgrades and new builds.

This white paper discusses the need for, and challenge of, compact space COTS systems for modern space applications, in particular for small launcher applications.

The modern battlefield requires real-time information, voice communication, video, and data to increase combat effectiveness and warfighter safety. This white paper looks at how rugged COTS displays can meet varied mission requirements.

The use of COTS equipment for space applications is increasing in popularity, the risks posed by the space radiation environment need to be understood and mitigated. Download this white paper to learn more.

This white paper looks in more detail at the environmental and operational issues for space launch vehicles and suggests solutions based on existing ruggedized COTS data acquisition systems (DAS),
