MAPS MODULARITY STRATEGY

October 2018 5

Sensor Countermeasure

Host Platform/

User Interface

Develop a Government-Owned, Government-Controlled “Hub” (Controller),

and the design rules surrounding it

The MAF includes the guidance for every aspect of compatibility:

technical interoperability, standards, compliance, reference implementation, business,

contracts, etc.

The Reference Architecture specifically addresses the design rules/technical interoperability.

TRADE-OFFS WITH

MODULARITY/OPENNESS

Trade-Offs exist when designing for modularity & openness

October 2018 6

Open CybersecureChallenge: Optimize design for MOSA while abiding by specific regulations and design constraints

Solution: Incorporate design constraints into the Reference Architecture, in order to bound the problem & communicate the boundary to stakeholders

USE OF MAPS' MODULAR AND

OPEN SYSTEM APPROACH

– Enables Safe and Secure integration of an autonomous weapon system with

platforms

– Permits analysis of functions for safety criticality

– Facilitates ease of integration for substitution of similar capabilities by using

existing design model and Interface Control Documents

- Increases ability to evaluate effects of pairing/integration of disparate subsystems

– Enables mapping of Risk Management Framework (RMF) cybersecurity controls

– Connection/integration/ICD to platforms is done once

STRATEGY FOR MODULARITY

October 2018 1

Why is the program focused on Modularity?...

• To make complexity manageable

• To enable parallel work

• To accommodate future uncertainty

• To enable reuse and reduce cost

How do we structure the model and architecture for the realities of this context?...

• Highly Integrated

• Interoperable

• Interchangeable

• Simultaneous Development

• Upgradeable
