Slide 2
Out of Theory – Into Practice
• Independence-class LCS using Open Architecture and Open Business Model
• Common Display System (CDS)o Delivered 150 Multi-Level Secure CDS
displayso Shipping 10-15/week
• Common Track Managero Developing one Track Manager for both
Aegis and SSDS
• Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV)o Five vessels under contracto First Total Ship Computing Environment
completed for JHSV 1

Slide 3
Evolving Our Open ArchitectureIncreasing Efficiency
• Developed Open Computing Infrastructure (OpenCI)
• Published Open Data Model• Facilitates third party product
integration• Enables reduced manning
through capabilities like any display anywhere
Littoral Combat Ship
• Utilized LCS OpenCI to meet requirements of C2 system
• Same computing infrastructure and tools scaled down to meet JHSV needs
Joint High Speed Vessel• OpenCI reused on
MMC to integrate broader set of sensors and weapons
• Architecture enables same infrastructure to meet MMC requirements
Multi-Mission Combatant
• OpenCI reused to meet needs of new customers
• Built from the beginning with reuse in mind

USS Independence (LCS2) Performance
• OpenCI Facilitates Reduced Manning - Operating the ship with a crew of 44 o Any-Display-Anywhere technologyo Integration of sea frame control systems and combat systemo Fully disclosed interface with dozens of third party HW/SW components
• Scored unprecedented 98/100 on Detect-to-Engage test at sea trialso OA system meets real-time performance requirements
• System continued to operate through power failure

Slide 5
Challenges & Opportunities
• Reality of Costo Perception of open systems costing moreo Savings of open systems are in standardization, reuse,
commonality, competition
• Realizing intellectual property still has a place – just not at the interfaceso Protecting IP is critical for third party developers, particularly small
businesseso Fosters innovation and competition
• Sustainability/Provisioning model required
Challenges must be overcome to achieve the next level of Open Architecture and Open Business promise
Slide 6
Summary
• Open Architecture has come of ageo Demonstrated performance in
challenging environmentso Reuse generating tangible cost benefits
• Bringing OA and Open Business to new customers
• Success of OA requires consistent customer supporto Disclosed interfaceso Ongoing competitions / Open Business
Modelo Understanding that savings are in reuse
and tech insertion
