DoD MOSA is an
integrated business and technical strategy to achieve competitive and
affordable acquisition and sustainment of a new or legacy system or component
over the system life cycle. This approach allows the Department to acquire
warfighting capabilities, including systems, subsystems, software components,
and services, with more flexibility and competition.
MOSA
compliance is instrumental in developing acquisition systems while reaping the
benefits of reduced cost and schedule. Evaluating system architecture for MOSA
compliance can be achieved by leveraging
Digital Engineering. We will explore how this Model Based Systems
Engineering (MBSE) process provides confidence that MOSA-based architecture
development will result in cost and schedule savings. Our approach uses MOSA
Quality Attribute (QA) criteria to evaluate architecture requirements prior to
system design. Our goal is to provide early confidence in architecture that
fosters MOSA principles.
