MOSA Virtual Summit 2026: Applying Open Architectures to Avionics, Radar, EW, and C5ISR Systems

Electronic warfare (EW), radar, and C5ISR [command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] system designs are getting more and more complex, so they counter fast-evolving adversarial threats.

Developing solutions to counter these threats can be costly and time-consuming, bogged down by incompatible components and proprietary designs. In response, the U.S military is leveraging modular open systems approach (MOSA) solutions like the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard, and the C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS); as well as the Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA).

This session details how MOSA strategies can enable EW, radar, and C5ISR designers to leverage the best of commercial RF, signal-processing, and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations to field technology more quickly and more affordably over the life of the system
