MOSA COI Industry Engagement

This Industry Engagement will cover the current GCIA timeline and how it fits with OMFV, provide some additional overview of what we are trying to accomplish, describe what’s in the release package, and remind the COI that the Government is looking for feedback on specific items.

Please submit your registration information via link below. The meeting link will be sent to registered participants the morning of the 6th. Note: You must be a member of the NAMC MOSA COI to participate.

OBJECTIVE

• Develop the USG baseline architecture by enhancing PEO GCS Common Infrastructure Architecture (GCIA) based on Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) to guide the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) system development.
• The effort is directed by the Army Acquisition Executive to achieve transformational capabilities for OMFV via Modular, Open and Scalable Architecture, and by using applicable open standards.
• The effort will be executed by the Government, with input from industry and academia. The output of this MOSA COI will be incorporated the OMFV program and proliferated across the Ground Combat and Tactical Vehicle portfolios. Final architecture decisions will be made by the Government.

PRIMARY GOALS

• Guide the development of MOSA compliant open OMFV system
• A common hardware (AKA vetronics) and software infrastructure
  • Avoid redundant or stove-pipe system development and integrations
  • Avoid non-standard/non-commercial connectors, cables (as appropriate), and wires
  • Enforce sharing resources (e.g., processing) and data across shared network
  • Enforce the use of configurable and manageable switching technologies
    • For handling low-latency constraints and safety-critical functions
• Enable platform upgrades to a more autonomous system
  • To facilitate shared data to the AI based systems and other capabilities
• Avoid costly long-term supply chain lock
• Reduce future integration cost and development effort
• Enable efficient testing and qualification procedures
  • Optimize on validations, qualifications and test (Cost, Schedule and efforts)
