What System Designers Should
Know About MOSA Standards
I
n today's technology-rich battlefield,
new threats emerge and
change quickly. Rapidly responding
to new threats in this dynamic
environment is one of the primary
drivers behind the DoD mandate
to adopt a Modular Open Systems
Approach (MOSA) for procurement
across the Army, Air Force, and Navy.
The MOSA mandate drives a modular
approach to system design that lowers
the cost of integration and speeds
the deployment of new capabilities to
address emerging threats.
The MOSA directive has greatly accelerated
the adoption of open system
standards, such as the U.S. Army CCDC
C5ISR Center's Army's Command, Control,
Communications, Computers,
Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance
(C4ISR)
Modular Open Suite of Standards
(CMOSS) and the Sensor Open
Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical
Standard, supported by the Tri-Services
and led by The Open Group's SOSA
Consortium. Defense system integrators
need to understand the MOSA
mandate and become familiar with
leading MOSA-aligned standards, such
as CMOSS and SOSA, before developing
system solutions.
The Importance of MOSA
While the MOSA philosophy delivers
many benefits to DoD procurement
efforts, such as lowered costs, greater
The Modular Open Systems
Approach
" [An open system architecture]uses a
technical architecture that adopts consensus-based
standards supporting a modular,
loosely coupled, and highly cohesive system
structure that includes the publishing
of key interfaces
interoperability,
and faster deployment,
it can be a challenge for system
designers to understand the interrelationship
between the recent mandate
and the leading open standards that
are aligned to support it. The following
overview is intended to provide a
basic introduction to the MOSA philosophy
and some of the most important
MOSA-aligned standards, such as
CMOSS, SOSA, FACE, HOST, MORA,
OpenVPX, and VICTORY.
