Meet Lynx at MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo 2026

September 22–24 | Booth 423 | National Harbor, MD

Lynx will be at MOSA 2026 participating in the panel discussion, Achieving Cyber Resilience Through Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA).

Join industry experts as they explore how modular architectures, secure partitioning, and open systems approaches are helping defense and aerospace organizations build resilient, adaptable, and cyber secure mission systems.

Why Meet With Us at MOSA

 

Mission-critical systems must evolve continuously. New processors, AI capabilities, software, security requirements, and mission functions need to be integrated without disrupting critical operations or requiring a complete system redesign.

At the 2026 MOSA Industry & Government Summit, Lynx will show how an architecture-first Modular Open Systems Approach can help programs modernize with greater control, flexibility, and resilience.

Visit our booth to explore how LYNX MOSA.ic.AI provides deterministic CPU and GPU infrastructure for integrating AI, real-time applications, graphics, legacy software, and other advanced workloads within a controlled, mixed-criticality edge architecture.

Achieving Cyber Resilience Through MOSA
September 22 | 14:30-15:15 | Room: Baltimore 5
 

As defense and aerospace systems grow more software-defined and interconnected, cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a perimeter function. Modular Open  Systems  Approach  (MOSA) offers a path toward building security directly into system architecture through strong partitioning, modular design, and controlled integration of components. This panel will examine how MOSA principles can improve system security by enabling isolation of critical functions, reducing attack surfaces, and allowing independent verification and certification of system components. Panelists will discuss how separation kernels, virtualization, and modular software frameworks allow safety-critical, security-critical, and general-purpose applications to coexist while maintaining strong boundaries between them.

The discussion will also explore how modular architectures enable faster security patching, technology refresh, and algorithm upgrades without requiring full system redesign. Additional topics include securing heterogeneous compute platforms (CPU/GPU), managing supply-chain risk through component modularity, and enabling zero-trust architectural approaches in mission systems. Real-world examples from aerospace and defense programs will demonstrate how MOSA enables resilient systems that can adapt to evolving cyber threats while maintaining safety and certification requirements. Attendees will gain practical insights into how security can be designed into modular architectures from the start rather than added later as a reactive measure.
