Congress, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the service leads have made it clear that modular open systems architecture (MOSA) is a warfighting imperative for all weapons systems—and directed energy weapons (DEW) are no exception.
As the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD[R&E]) stands up an open systems architecture working group for directed energy weapons, how can the Department of Defense (DoD) realize the benefits of MOSA without adversely impacting the continued innovation from industry needed to support U.S. defense strategy?
Watch our recorded panel discussion featuring key government and industry stakeholders as they discuss modularity, interfaces, architectures, and systems as part of the open systems architecture plans and strategy for service directed energy weapons.
