Avionics Architectures Team (AAT)

Abstract

The Avionics Architectures Team (AAT) provides hardware and software (HW/SW) standards and product line development and management for common HW/SW operating environments to establish testable open architecture requirements in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 801 Open Architecture language, DoD Directive 5000.1, N6/N7 Naval Open Architecture Requirements Letter 9010, Ser. N6N7/5U916276, and SECNAVINST 5000.2E. The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Technical Standard is developed through Navy, Army, Air Force, Industry and Academia collaboration in accordance with Public Law 104-113. The Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) standard is being developed through government and academia collaboration and will be provided to industry for prototyping efforts. The Functional Architecture for Strategic Reuse (FASTR) initiative will define a standard process for mission level capability decomposition to support product line development and management. The AAT provides Subject Matter Experts to define and architect a set of Open Architecture Standards and product lines, design principles and guidance, development and integration tools, acquisition strategy, contracting guidance and cost estimates. The results will enable Department of Defense (DoD) weapons systems to systematically procure open, modular and reconfigurable software architectures, reuse HW/SW and deliver scalable, portable and interoperable war fighting capabilities at a faster rate, reducing redundant development costs and increasing competition. Infrastructure components and frameworks built to these standards will support Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) capability upgrades on various platforms by enabling integration of common, non-proprietary applications. The AAT initiatives enable the government's role as Lead Systems Integrator, per the Weapons System Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) 2009, and cost effectively manage data rights for reuse across the DoD.
