The Department’s Acquisition Transformation Strategy (ATS) calls for open systems architectures; the use common components and standards so all companies can compete to integrate components on our weapon systems. During this webinar we'll explore the new Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) policy guidance and its implications for the defense acquisition workforce.
Members of the MOSA Cadre will discuss how the memorandum is expected to advance the Department’s goals of increasing competition, accelerating technology insertion, improving interoperability, reducing vendor lock, and enabling more affordable modernization and sustainment. Participants will gain insight into how MOSA supports the broader acquisition transformation agenda and what acquisition professionals should understand.
The discussion will emphasize practical implementation considerations, available workforce resources, and actions organizations can take to align ongoing programs and future acquisition strategies with evolving MOSA expectations. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of emerging MOSA expectations, available implementation resources, and the role of the acquisition workforce in enabling sustainable, adaptable, and mission-ready capabilities.
