Avionics Architecture Team (AAT)

3

Within NAVAIR, PMA209 AAT leads the development and implementation of Open

Architecture (OA) standards, processes, development tools, and best business

practices resulting in DoD hardware and software product lines that increase the portability

of applications, reuse of components, and the ability to adapt to changing requirements at a

faster rate. The Team is comprised of the following Level II IPTs:

• Software Open Systems Technologies (SWOST) IPT

– Developing and evolving Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) and Open

Mission Systems (OMS) SW standards

• Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) IPT

– Developing and streamlining the OpenVPX HW standard, as well as smaller form-

factor standard with PC-104, for avionics

– NEW HOST website now live: www.host-oa.com

• Platforms Integration & Modeling (PIM) IPT

– Supporting aircraft platforms in defining potential OA solutions through Model Based

Systems Engineering (MBSE), identifying specific areas of strategic reuse, and

defining the functional architecture to facilitate the implementation of OA solutions

Completed Implementations:

• PMA-207 - C-130T– FACE™ : Avionics Obsolescence Upgrade (AOU) was FACE v1.0 conformant

• PMA-261 - CH-53K – FACE™ conformant Basic Cockpit Upgrade & Helmet Mounted Display

• PMA-273 T-45

– HOST: Adoption of MCA in progress

• JPO – F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

– HOST: HOST v2.0 conformant modules and power supply; As stated in previous slide, L3 Harris currently developing

HOST v4.0 conformant Panoramic Cockpit Display (PCD) and Integrate Core Processor (ICP) for the Tech Refresh

contract

Future Implementations:• PMA-231 - E-2D

– OMS: Investigating transition of Mission Computer Software to OMS– FACE™/OMS/SOSA™/HOST: Investigating use of MOSA Standards for HECTR (Hawkeye Cockpit Technical

Refresh). Considering adoption of FMF App.

• PMA-265– SOSA™: Growler Block 2 Upgrade will include SOSA Processing

– OMS/UCI: Growler Block 2 Upgrade will include OMS/UCI Software, Architecture, and Interfaces– FACE™: F-18 DTP–N - next SOW update to require FACE conformance

• PMA-275 – CMV-22– FACE™: Adoption of FMF App in progress

• PMA-299 H-60 – FACE™: Potential adoption of FMF App

• Focusing on development and insertion of standardized

functional products using Model-Based Systems Engineering tools

and processes

• Identifying NAVAIR OA-centric reuse opportunities - further defining and

analyzing platform functional requirements

• Facilitating ease of implementation – Development of FACE™ and

HOST (business & technical) Acquisition Starter Kits

• Providing OA Solutions - Baseline the FACE™ and HOST standards in

accordance with requirements of the Tri-Services
