Modular. Mission-Ready.
MOSA-Aligned.
Turning the Secretary of War's Vision into Action
At Lynx, we've spent years engineering the future of defense. LYNX MOSA.ic, the industry’s most advanced modular, open, and secure foundation for mixed-criticality systems, stands alone in turning the Secretary's vision into action today: delivering modular integration, rapid certification, and multi-vendor interoperability across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains.
A Call for Modernization
When Secretary Pete Hegseth called for accelerated reform across the Department of Defense, his message was clear:
- Modernization must move at the speed of mission need
- Acquisition must favor open, modular architectures
- The future of defense depends on MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach)

Powering the Future of Modular Defense
Enabling MOSA
- LYNX MOSA.ic provides the secure, certifiable foundation for open architectures, enabling defense programs to integrate, upgrade, and adapt faster than ever
- Rapid integration and cross-domain interoperability
- Certified frameworks supporting reuse and scalability
- Lynx provides the fastest certification process of any platform on the market.
Empowering Portfolio Acquisition Executives
The Secretary's reform plan replaces silos with Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs) focused on capability outcomes. LYNX MOSA.ic makes that possible, giving PAEs the tools to:
- Manage systems as portfolios, not programs
- Incrementally upgrade capabilities without full system replacement
- Support mixed-vendor ecosystems that lower lifecycle costs

Advancing Acquisition Reform
LYNX MOSA.ic reduces vendor lock-in, acquisition friction, and development risk. With a standards-based architecture, Lynx helps programs move from specifications to solutions, enabling rapid fielding without compromising security or performance.
Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience
By design, MOSA.ic supports multi-vendor sourcing and domestic manufacturing flexibility, reinforcing the Secretary's call for diversified, secure supply chains. Whether it's CPUs, GPUs, or mission processors, Lynx ensures freedom of choice without compromising certification or performance.
