Navy’s MOSA 1.0 Boosts Innovation, Interoperability

Jacob Glassman, Senior Technical Advisor, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition
Editor’s Note: Jacob Glassman’s comments do not reflect the position of the Department of the Navy and are his own personal views.
The Navy’s Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) philosophy is designed to enable the service to quickly integrate and prototype emerging technology.
As the services adopt MOSA and its service-specific variants, Glassman says the strategy will foster the interchange of systems, support emerging technologies adoption and spur modernization.
MOSA 1.0 is the first iteration of the Navy’s strategy. The Navy plans to solicit feedback from industry, academia and across the Defense Department as it updates its strategy on an annual basis, fully realizing its vision with its 3.0 plan, according to Glassman.
