Quick Summary
The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), under the Department of the Navy, has released a Special Notice for a Request for Solutions (RFS) for the Microelectronics Operations, Sustainment, Acquisition, and Infrastructure Capabilities Modernization (MOSAIC) prototype project. This effort, conducted as an "Other Transaction" (OT) project under 10 U.S.C. 4022, aims to modernize microelectronics for fielded weapon systems through the digitalization of acquisition and sustainment.
Scope of Work
The MOSAIC project will leverage digital engineering tools, commercial best practices, and a scalable, cloud-based environment to facilitate co-design, data reuse, and lifecycle collaboration across programs. The primary goal is to accelerate the delivery of faster and more affordable replacements for critical systems while simultaneously strengthening the long-term sustainment infrastructure for microelectronics.
