Common Modular Open Architecture (CMOA) Industry Session

ABOUT THE INITIATIVE  

• Common Modular Open Architecture (CMOA) is an initiative by ASA ALT Office of the Chief Systems Engineer (OCSE) that is intended to amplify the impact and benefits of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) by maximizing utilization and ‘commoditization’ of MOSA compliant systems/subsystems through reuse within the Army’s (and the Department of Defense) product portfolio while reducing the reliance on proprietary vendor-sensitive solutions.

• The Army already has many standards that vehicle manufacturers are required to follow when designing and manufacturing vehicles. While the existing standards provide some interface requirements, the integration of larger subsystems is usually left to the OEMs to define, which often leads to unique interfaces for various vehicle platforms. Creating common design interface management standards and a common basic design for key commodities are the best way to create a fleet of vehicles with modular subsystems.
