Where MOSA Meets COTS: Achieving True Configurability in Defense Systems

August 1, 2025

As defense systems increasingly adopt the modular and interoperable open standards for faster field deployment, engineers and program managers seek deeper understanding of configurable implementations. This webinar demonstrates how applying the SOSA standard enables true configurability by aligning hardware and software elements into defense-specific vertical solutions, reinforcing the plug-and-play interoperability fundamental to MOSA principles.

The speakers in this session highlight distinct integration examples, each showcasing how standardized COTS components address specific mission requirements while providing a path to plug-and-play compatibility.

You will learn:

  • Implementation strategies tailored to Radar, EW, EO/IR applications and AI capabilities
  • Vertical-specific design approaches: from slot profiles and hardware selection to operating systems and software stacks
  • Technical evaluation methods for selecting optimal hardware/software combinations
  • Programmatic strategies that maximize plug-and-play interoperability while meeting mission-specific objectives
