MBSE4U Partners with the 2025 MOSA Industry & Government Summit
At MBSE4U, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between complex engineering challenges and practical, scalable solutions. As the defense and aerospace industries undergo a massive shift toward modularity and digital transformation, the synergy between Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) has never been more critical.
That is why we are proud to announce that MBSE4U is an official media partner for the upcoming MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo, hosted by the Defense Strategies Institute (DSI).
Why MOSA Matters for the MBSE Community
The Department of War (DoW) has made MOSA a “warfighting imperative.” By prioritizing modularity, open standards, and interoperable interfaces, the goal is to break vendor lock, reduce life-cycle costs, and—most importantly—accelerate the “speed of relevance.”
For systems engineers, MOSA is not just a policy; it is a technical discipline that relies heavily on the architectures we build. Without robust MBSE practices, achieving the “plug-and-play” agility that MOSA promises is nearly impossible. Systems modeling provides the “source of truth” required to manage the complex interfaces and standards that define a successful MOSA implementation.
What to Expect at the Summit
The 2025 Summit brings together military services, industry, and academia. Key themes for this year include:
- Operationalizing MOSA: Moving from mandates to real-world implementation across Navy, Army, and Air Force programs.
- Digital Engineering Integration: How MBSE and digital twins are used to certify and test modular systems.
- Breaking Vendor Lock: Strategies for fostering a competitive and innovative defense industrial base.
- AI and Future Capabilities: Exploring the impact of modularity on rapidly evolving technologies like AI, Space, and Directed Energy.
MBSE4U’s Commitment to Open Standards
As a firm specialized in MBSE publishing and consulting, we are committed to supporting the standards that make MOSA possible. From our latest resources on SysML v2—which offers enhanced support for modeling modular architectures—to our deep-dive episodes on The MBSE Podcast, we aim to provide the engineering community with the tools needed to thrive in this new landscape.
