Gen. Jason Voorheis, Program Executive Officer for Fighters and Advanced Aircraft, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (Staff photo)<\/p>\n<p>NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland. The U.S. Air Force is increasingly banking on open system designs to keep pace with fast-moving threats and ensure new capabilities reach the field quicker, Brig. Gen. Jason Voorheis, program executive officer for fighters and advanced aircraft, told attendees at the MOSA Summit here Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s not think of MOSA [Modular Open Systems Approach] as a compliance exercise again,\u201d Voorheis said. \u201cLet\u2019s think of it as the single most consequential lever we can pull to ensure our future war fighters have the capabilities they need to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Open architectures allow the Air Force to \u201cadapt quickly, swapping out components and inserting new technology without having to wait for the next major milestone,\u201d he said, adding that it also allows the service to integrate new sensors and weapons across platforms, and reduce costs by opening competition to more vendors.<\/p>\n<p>To push this forward, the Air Force has stood up a Mission Systems Architecture and Systems Engineering (ACE) group, which is writing the common \u201crules of the road\u201d for aircraft electronics and mission systems, he continued. Those standards are now being built into programs such as the Next Generation Air Dominance fighter and the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). Voorheis pointed out that CCA already produced a prototype flight in less than 18 months from contract award, something he said would have been unthinkable under older acquisition models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe future of acquisition is absolutely a team sport where neither side can succeed alone,\u201d he said. \u201cOnly together will we create these open architectures that have the staying power to last.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News August 29, 2025 Dan Taylor Technology Editor Military Embedded Systems Brig.
