Interoperable Open Architecture 2015

The advantages of using interoperable open architecture for the development, procurement and use of technology are manifest in those programmes where it has been successfully rolled out. However, despite some successes within these US and UK programmes, there are still many that are not convinced that implementing such architectures is worth the required structural transformation, time and money.

The Interoperable Open Architecture 2015 conference argues that common standards and open architectures have the potential to revolutionise the cost and efficiency of procurement and will cover the following key areas:

*The technical detail behind the development of standards and common requirements to enable ‘plug and play’
*Implementing open architecture for new platforms and programmes: Lessons learned from the flagship efforts in the US and UK
*The potential for transformation of defence procurement and the benefits and disadvantages of open architecture for both the military and industry communities
*Ease of use and operator effectiveness on the front line
*Cross-over practices and lessons-learned from the civilian sphere as open architectures are rolled out across land, air and naval systems
