The Team Behind The Mission®

At KBR, we are at the forefront of technological innovation, exemplified by our adoption of MOSA. This strategy revolutionizes our approach to developing future technologies by prioritizing innovation, adaptability and efficiency.

MOSA addresses significant technical challenges inherent in traditional aviation platforms, such as system-specific architecture, proprietary interfaces and coupled software and hardware. These issues have historically impeded progress. By implementing MOSA, we enhance affordability, readiness, and capability, and reduce schedule pressures while mitigating supply chain risks. Contrary to being a mere "plug and play" system, MOSA requires an in-depth understanding of platform integration. It fosters an environment for the rapid adoption of new functionalities. By identifying critical interfaces and integrating diverse vendor technologies, MOSA ensures our systems are adaptable and compatible with current and future platforms.

Our MOSA strategy includes rigorous conformance planning and validation to align program requirements, designs and acquisition information with MOSA objectives. While FACE (Future Airborne Capability Environment) is an enabling technology, it is part of KBR’s broader strategy rather than synonymous with MOSA. We prioritize designing for reuse from the outset. We utilize a suite of KBR tools and processes, including modeling tools, cyber security tools, test and evaluation tools, and program management tools. These, combined with strategic partnerships, enable seamless integration and pre-production environments, fostering a platform-agnostic architecture.

KBR's expertise in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and agile DevSecOps software development drives our digital transformation. Our KBR Digital Backbone SIL functions as a third-party platform, facilitating the integration of new technologies into the PEO-AVN ecosystem. Join us on our journey with MOSA. Embrace the spirit of "openness," where adaptability and innovation go hand in hand. Welcome to KBR's MOSA integration—shaping the future of technology.
