Where MOSA Meets COTS: Achieving True Configurability in Defense Systems

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.
