Standards Management
Abstract
The Open Architecture Management (OAM) Office (OAMO) at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is responsible for developing, evolving, and managing open standards. Open standards permit Department of Defense programs to reduce acquisition and life-cycle costs as well as the risks associated with development, sustainment, technology refresh, and capability upgrades of mission systems on weapon systems. The OAMO continues to manage the Open Mission Systems (OMS) and the Universal Command and Control (C2) Interface (UCI) Standards. Additionally, the OAMO will continue working activities for other standards and open architecture initiatives to transition to OAMO management/ownership. OAMO provides funding to multiple entities, including the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the 76th Software Engineering Group (76 SWEG), defense contractors, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, and University Affiliated Research Centers in support of standards management activities. AFRL is responsible for executing science and technology initiatives to further develop the OMS/UCI Standards. The 76 SWEG is responsible for key activities and deliverables for the OMS and UCI standards including: managing a collaborative tools environment, updating tools in the OMS/UCI Starter Kit, updating the Government critical abstraction layer, maintaining the Reference Implementation, integrating and testing the Mission Package, completing Change Package Development and Sponsorship, supporting the OMS and UCI management activities, providing support to adopting programs, and providing training and associated documentation. These entities will also be funded to support activities for other standards or open architecture initiatives to transition to OAMO management/ownership. The OAMO will begin development/maintenance of the Government Avionics Reference Architecture (GARA), an Avionics Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment for conducting automated evaluations, trade studies, and implementation of open standards. The OAMO will execute P3I initiatives as required and include activities such as specifically targeted improvements to open standards and open architecture initiatives, coordination with other standardization efforts, enhancements (including cybersecurity, as required), and widening the applicability of the standards the OAMO is involved with. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver open standards capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
