Achieving Affordable, Capable Systems through Open
Architecture
Dr. Adam RazavianDeputy Major Program ManagerAbove Water Sensors Directorate
PEO IWS2.0
Making Capability InsertionMore Affordable
• Computing Environment Open Architecture– Isolation of HW/SW– Commercial standards– Commercial middleware for data transfer
• Data Rights
• Warfare System Functional Architecture– Simplify the system integration by organizing the combat system architecture
functionally– Capture WS/CS data model– Isolate the sensors/weapons changes from CMS– Reduce the changes made to core combat system– Reduce testing– Reduce certification cost
• Align the System Engineering model with Business and Acquisition model– One without the other will not produce the desired outcome

Future Warfare Systems
• Systems are becoming increasingly complex contributing to high cost of:
– Development– Integration– System Sustainment
• As warfare systems become more integrated– Individual systems require less complexity– Individual platforms can be specialized for narrower functionalities– Overall system capability increases
• Warfare systems must be designed for Interoperability– After the fact interoperability is expensive
• Data model for Warfare System Architecture makes the integration effort easier
3
In Service Warfare Systems
• Systems are becoming obsolete, contributing to high cost of– Sustainment– Upgrades
• Systems are – Stand alone– Specialized, dedicated hardware, closed Interfaces– Hardware and software are tightly coupled– Cost of obsolescence management is increasing as a function of time
• When Business Case allows– Replace troubled functionalities with COTS and OPEN standard design– Reduce the sustainment cost– Reduce the future upgrade cost

SEWIP Block 2 CompetitionLessons Learned
• Leverage ONR ADM Project– Prior to the Block 2 competition ONR had an ADM contract for
MFEW
– ONR ADM effort was competed and matured several critical technology elements to TRL 6 with GPR on most of hardware and software
– Technology Demonstration phase was achieved by leveraging from ONR MFEW ADM development.
– Unsuccessful bidders for the ONR MFEW competition continued to invest their own IRAD to remain competitive for future Block 2 competition
– Providing the MFEW GPR data as GFI with the Block 2 RFP resulted in a more robust competition
SEWIP Block 2 CompetitionLessons Learned
• Leverage the Naval Open Architecture Contract Guidebook for Program Managers
• Though the Government cannot demand Data Rights, provided the option for offerors to price Data Rights and included evaluation criteria on that option in the RFP
– All offerors addressing the Data Rights option
– An award with Unlimited Data Rights at no cost for all SEWIP Block 2
• Providing this data as GFI to future competitors for the SEWIP Block 2 Full Rate Competition, as well as follow-on life cycle support efforts, will result in lower TOC

Summary
• Capability insertion must be more affordable
• We must develop the ability to meet tomorrow’s threat
• Our systems will be more integrated and interoperable– Utilize every single platform asset in the warfare system
• OA approaches are the key enablers to meet tomorrow’s threat affordably
