Session Description

MOSA Convergence: Leveraging SOSA, CMOSS, FACE, and Other Standards for Future Platform Designs 
Wednesday, August 19, 2026  |  1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
 
The modular open systems approach (MOSA) is now a mandated business and design strategy. MOSA systems have gained more momentum than ever within the U.S. Department of Defense and in program development. Leaders of different standards efforts such as the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard; the Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST) initiative; the C4ISR/Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS); and the Future Airborne Capability Environment, or FACE, Technical Standard often discuss ways to enable convergence and unification of the various standards efforts to provide better guidance for acquisitions teams selecting which standards to use. This session will detail how these standards can converge to increase interoperability, deliver innovation, and enable lower lifecycle costs in future military systems.
