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.

Lynx will showcase how open, modular software infrastructure can help programs continuously insert new processors, AI capabilities, graphics, applications, and security technologies without redesigning the entire mission system.

Visit the Lynx booth to see how MOSA.ic.AI provides the deterministic, mixed-criticality foundation for next-generation mission computing, and how Lynx is working across the broader ecosystem to accelerate open architectures and trusted AI deployment.

You will be able to:

Explore Lynx’s role in MOSA-driven modernization — from deterministic CPU/GPU infrastructure and mixed-criticality consolidation to open standards, software portability, and lifecycle evolution.
Learn about the AI Deployment Gap Initiative — a vendor-neutral industry effort focused on what it takes to move AI from development into trusted, deployable mission capability.
See four live demonstrations showing practical applications of MOSA, AI, graphics, avionics, and mission computing — from next-generation cockpit systems and EO/IR processing to AI-enabled autonomy and integrated open avionics.
Meet Lynx executives, product leaders, and customer-success experts to discuss your architecture, modernization roadmap, AI deployment challenges, and next-generation mission requirements.

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.
