The FACE® Approach: Cost Reduction through Portability and Interoperability
The unsustainable rise in defense system acquisition costs has driven the creation and enthusiastic adoption of the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The Future Airborne Capability Environment® (or FACE®) Approach adapts this system-level approach to the software domain by providing the FACE Technical Standard and conformance process to ensure that software components satisfy the MOSA principles of modularity, portability, and interoperability. These qualities are realized through the FACE Reference Architecture, which partitions functionality into segments and defines component interactions both within and across segment boundaries. This webinar will bring together engineers from different companies, each supplying commercial off‑the‑shelf (COTS) products adapted to different segments of the FACE Reference Architecture. The panel will discuss the benefits and challenges of accommodating the architecture, along with how their products contribute to the broader ecosystem of FACE Conformant software and ultimately help to reduce defense system acquisition costs.
