This white paper presents a strategic framework for addressing obstacles to efficient communications and how best to maintain seamless connectivity through the utilization of open standards-based, field-proven Curtiss-Wright hardware and software.

The goal of reducing the cost of equipping Army vehicles with new capabilities, while adding increasing interoperability and flexibility of operation, can be accomplished through the use of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), a technical and business strategy for designing an affordable and adaptable system.

Curtiss-Wright has experience on a wide variety of platforms and missions using the same COTS equipment in both development and operational applications.

Mission management systems that meet ever-present size, weight, and power (SWaP) demands while providing the scalability and flexibility to handle all of the mission tasks today’s warfighter may encounter.

Technical standards like SOSA and CMOSS alleviate interoperability, sustainability, and SWaP challenges by efficiently reusing proven technology.

Rugged, secure, mission-critical solutions for the defense and aerospace industries.

Reliability requires in-depth, scientific testing and validation to ensure that ruggedized solutions dependably perform in the harshest field conditions for many years.

This paper aims to put MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) into perspective and enable you, whether a defense contractor, a decision-maker at the DoD, or a public policymaker, to put the increasingly relevant MOSA to use better.

Gain a competitive edge with Modified COTS solutions that address all your development requirements – from the design and manufacture of custom cards, BSP packages and drivers, and providing rapid subsystem pre-integration capabilities.
