The Design Agent’s Dilemma How can we design C4ISR systems using approaches that

enable OA while retaining the value of private investment? How can we develop solutions, at low cost, to meet design

requirements yet support system adaptation to meet emergent customer needs?

Modular/Threaded Approach

7

Integration of modularized C4ISR technologies (i.e. sensor fusion) enable high performance and permit innovation at sensor and system level

Open interfaces enable COTS / non-proprietary, GFE & proprietary sensors for best performance

Open standards and composable architecture enable tailored capability and selection and refresh for a broad selection of sensors

Summary

Innovation for, and optimization of, existent capabilities relies on the blending of protected and non-protected elements

This can be accomplished using OA, COTS and well-considered, modular design approaches

The benefits, to the design agent and the customer(s), of a system exhibiting MOSA concepts deliver added value through:

Interoperability to permit utilization of external functions

Maintainability to facilitate technology refresh Extensibility for enhancing the capabilities of the

system Composability based on modular coupling of system

elements Reusability of system or subsystems for other

applications Unlimited rights does not deliver best of breed To meet the needs of the customer, innovation and

performance should be the driver!
