C5ISR Center MOSA Management Office (MMO) for CMOSS / VICTORY / MORA

This Special Notice initially aims to make the Approved for Public Release, "Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance / Electronic Warfare (C5ISR/EW) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Interoperability Requirements Specification" (CMOSS IRS) widely discoverable and available.  The intent is to periodically modify this Special Notice to:

• make additional Approved for Public Release and/or Controlled Unclassified Information documentation discoverable and available (Public download, Transmittal upon Request, or link to Authoritative Sources, as appropriate);

• broadcast syndicated announcements for events or opportunities of interest to members of the CMOSS-enabled ecosystem

The purpose of the CMOSS Interoperability Requirements Specification is to provide a common, configuration-controlled, Science, Technology, Engineering, Experimentation, Test & Evaluation and Acquisition minimum baseline technical requirements document. This allows US Army (T), and Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational (JIIM) (O), materiel developers and integrators to ensure CMOSS compliant/conformant solutions are over-the-interface(s)-interoperable with other components/systems developed to the same "shalls".  The requirements within this document should be incorporated by reference in contracts, citing the document title, revision number, and effective date of publication. 'CMOSS#####' Unique Identifiers (UID) will typically be linked as 'parent requirements' from which materiel system, subsystem, component, etc. 'child requirements' are derived. This CMOSS Interoperability Requirements Specification is under the configuration control of the chartered C5ISR Center MOSA Management Office (MMO).

MOSA MANAGEMENT OFFICE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Coordinate MOSA usage across C5ISR Center
  • Review S&T projects and identify cross cutting opportunities to include MOSA
  • Allocate MOSA implementation funding for labs, experimentation, and matrixed SME support
  • Provide MOSA training for directorate SME’s
  • Facilitate technology transition

• Manage and mature standards
  • Develop and maintain the CMOSS and VICTORY specifications
  • Develop compliance tools and support compliance verification
  • C5ISR Center lead for standards bodies such as the SOSA(TM) Consortium
  • Coordinate with external MOSA activities

• Provide MOSA support to the acquisition community
  • Consolidate resource requests for MOSA support facilities and staff
  • Support inclusion of MOSA in policy and programs

• Coordinate/represent MOSA with external partners

• CMOSS is a suite of standards to support the reduction of the size, weight and power of C5ISR and EW systems while increasing the flexibility and adaptability of these systems
  • Universal A-Kit
  • Project Managers field capabilities as cards into a common chassis
  • Pooled radio resources such as antennas and amplifiers for Communications, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems
  • Shared processing resources such as computers and displays
  • Shared data services such as Position, Navigation, and Time (PNT)
  • Foundation for enhanced interoperability and simultaneity between C5ISR systems
  • Reduced life cycle cost through increased competition, smaller logistics tails with common sparing, and upgrading to the latest hardware as parts are replaced
  • Rapid insertion of new technology/capability
