Implementation of Modular Open System Approach, or MOSA, is a warfighter imperative that supports competitive and affordable acquisition and sustainment over the system lifecycle.

This presentation will identify the steps the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering is taking to increase awareness and visibility of MOSA-related acquisition activities across the Services and highlight the upcoming MOSA Implementation Guidebook from OUSD(R&E).

Please join us for an important discussion with Ms. Nadine Geier on best practices for MOSA implementation. There will be a Q&A portion to the webinar.
