Will the U.S. Army's attempt to define a universal framework
for modular interoperability stifle industry innovation?
A

nswering the challenge of
increasingly complex military
systems that are
harder to upgrade, the
U.S. Army has released a set of open
system architecture standards.
Ensuring an open and common
approach to systems architecture,
these are the standards that will
define the prototypes being built
for operational assessment:
* Command, Control, Computers,
Communications, Cyber, Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(C5ISR)
* C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of
Standards (CMOSS)
* CMOSS Mounted Form Factor
(CMFF)
While these initiatives attempt
to define this universal framework
for module interoperability,
there's a trade-off between mandating
commonality and promoting
innovation. As the momentum
around CMOSS/CMFF builds, how
much room will be left to develop
innovative new capabilities and
business practices?
Where Interoperability is Heading
The Army's vision is straightforward:
an open and standardized
architecture that allows government
and industry to better collaborate on
the efficient upgrade of system capabilities.
This shift from legacy, program-specific
acquisition to modern,
inter-system interoperability
falls under the Department of
Defense's (DOD) mandate for a Modular
Open Systems Approach (MOSA)
to procurement that lowers costs
and accelerates the deployment of
new capabilities that can keep pace
with changing threat landscapes.
With the MOSA approach, several
open systems standards are seeing
growing adoption rates, including:
* Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/
EW Interoperability (VICTORY) -
