The FACE Approach - Cost Reduction through Portability and Interoperability

Learn about the Future Airborne Capability Environment® (FACE®) Approach and how it reduces defense system acquisition costs through the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) in this comprehensive webinar. Discover how the FACE Technical Standard and conformance process ensure software components achieve modularity, portability, and interoperability through the FACE Reference Architecture, which partitions functionality into segments and defines component interactions within and across segment boundaries. Join engineers from Qt Group, RTI, and Wind River as they discuss how their commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products have been adapted to different segments of the FACE Reference Architecture, exploring both the benefits and challenges of accommodating this architecture. Explore the fundamental principles of MOSA and the FACE Approach, understand how modularity, portability, and interoperability contribute to cost reduction, and examine the FACE Reference Architecture's role in supporting these principles. Gain insights into available COTS solutions that have been adapted to the FACE Reference Architecture and learn how these solutions support the overarching goal of reducing defense system acquisition costs through improved software component ecosystems.
