Interoperable Open Architecture
Supporting Defense Agencies, Enabling Systems Integrators
The last few years has seen an important shift in the way defense procurement takes place. To reduce lifecycle maintenance and modification costs, more and more defense agencies are looking to specify the architecture used across a multitude of platforms. Specifying an architecture based on open standards and a data-centric method of communication allows:
Interoperability across a range of systems
Simplified subsystems and systems-of-systems integration
Genuine competition for upgrade and maintenance contracts
