Launched Effects and Advanced Teaming Require System for System MOSA

Abstract:
The DoD enterprise requires a blueprint for each service and industry base to develop, integrate, and connect crewed and uncrewed platforms across the aviation and ground domains to satisfy the goals of programs such as Replicator, Human Machine Integrated Formation (HMIF) and Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) as a whole. Thanks to years of architecture work by Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation, PEO Ground Control System (GCS), and the Ground Vehicle Services Center (GVSC), the necessary open standards-based reference architectures, objective architectures, Major System Components (MSCs), and Major System Interfaces (MSIs) can be leveraged to create an executable plan for the Army, the DoD, and the international community as a whole. This paper proposes how to leverage government-owned elements across multiple Army offices to provide a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) that achieves the speed, portability, and interoperability of capabilities needed for the conflicts of tomorrow.
