Investigating Approaches to Achieve Modularity Benefits in the Acquisition Ecosystem

Abstract

Our work in RT-163 was motivated by means by which the DoD can develop systems to exploit modularity to enhance defense acquisitions and military capabilities. The work centered on exploring the status quo on current practices in modularity and openness and explored the concept of a MOSA ecosystem that facilitates the adoption of strategies to achieve the desired benefits from a MOSA approach. The work investigated how to encourage modularity and openness, through researching relevant enablers across a range of areas of application.
