Why Converge?

CMOSS

C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS)
• 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

CMOSS ARCHITECTURE

Universal A-Kit
eliminates the need for
platform specific
integration. PMs field
capabilities as cards in
common chassis and
antennas/amplifiers that
use existing cabling.

Reduces the size, weight
and power footprint of
C4ISR systems by
sharing hardware such
as antennas and
amplifiers.

Enables rapid
technology insertion
using best of breed
capabilities to address
emerging requirements.

Lays the foundation for
enhanced
interoperability and
simultaneity amongst
C4ISR capabilities.

Reduces logistics tails by enabling common sparing. Eliminates the need for “End of Life” buys for a 30+ years sustainment by enabling hardware modernization every 5-10 years.
