Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE)
Abstract
The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) program provides avionics standards development for a common software operating environment to establish testable open architecture requirements in accordance with DoD Directive 5000.1, N6/N7 Naval Open Architecture Requirements Letter 9010, Ser N6N7/5U916276, and SECNAVINST 5000.2E. The FACE Technical Standard is developed through Navy, Army, Air Force, Industry and Academia collaboration via The Open Group FACE Consortium, in accordance with Public Law 104-113. The FACE program provides the Subject Matter Experts to define and architect a set of Open Architecture Standards, design guidance, development and integration tools, acquisition strategy, contracting guidance and cost estimations. The results will enable Department of Defense (DoD) weapons systems to reuse software, deliver warfighting capabilities that are scalable and portable, at a faster rate, ensuring interoperability while reducing significant redundant development costs and increasing competition. The FACE program will enable the government to own system integration as a Lead Systems Integrator and software data rights for reuse across the DoD.
