***Note this amendment updates the submission mailbox instruction in Page 7, Part III Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA) are a warfighting imperative. Victory in future conflicts will in part be determined by our ability to rapidly adapt systems, integrate new capabilities, and share information from machine to machine. Modular open systems utilize open interfaces to connect well defined modules. The CCDC C5ISR Center has made substantial investments in developing MOSA for C5ISR applications. These efforts have focused on the following:
1.) Software frameworks that support modular reusable software
2.) RF system interfaces enabling third party access/control of sophisticated RF chains
3.) Embedded computing hardware interfaces
4.) Network interfaces for discovery, management, and data dissemination
The results of these MOSA initiatives have resulted in the development of C4ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) which is aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) Technical Standard. CMOSS leverages open standards such as the Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA), Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability (VICTORY), OpenVPX, REDHAWK, Software Communications Architecture (SCA), and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE). Specifications in active development and use can be found at the following locations:
VICTORY (https://www.victory-standards.org/index.php/publicly-available-documents)
MORA (https://www.victory-standards.org/index.php/publicly-available-documents)
OpenVPX(http://www.vita.com)
REDHAWK (https://redhawksdr.github.io/Documentation)
SCA (http://www.public.navy.mil/jtnc)
FACE (http://www.opengroup.org/face)
SOSA (http://www.opengroup.org/sosa)
The proposed technical approach for all topics should be designed in accordance with CMOSS and SOSA whenever possible.
