1	Naval Open Architecture Navy League Council Meeting 9 May 2007
2	The Navy must build a fleet where mission systems…
3	Adopting Open Architectures will help reach this goal… Naval Open Architecture is the confluence of business and technical practices yielding modular, interoperable systems that adhere to open standards with published interfaces. This approach increases opportunities for innovation and competition, enables reuse of components, facilitates rapid technology insertion, and reduces maintenance constraints. Naval Open Architecture delivers increased warfighting capabilities in a shorter time-to-field at reduced costs.
4	…but requires shifting our acquisition model…
5	…to a model that better aligns to capabilities across multiple platforms and families of systems
6	OA is at the forefront of our Naval acquisitions
7	Clear direction has been provided on our future path Implement a new business model
8	A new model is being developed for combat systems
9	Contracts are being changed to include OA requirements
10	Peer Reviews are being established
11	Surface assets are being stored in the SHARE repository
12	Changes to T&E processes are being evaluated
13	Solutions are being tested in the OA / FORCEnet experimentation collaborative environment… OA / FORCEnet Experimentation Vision Prototype Open Architecture business and technical practices in a collaborative Naval enterprise environment to facilitate rapid integration of components across systems and platforms for delivery of interoperable warfighting capabilities at reduced costs
14	…which links many government and industry sites Navy Enterprise collaboration and Participation PEO IWS PEO C4I & Space PEO T PEO Subs PEO Space RDA CHENG NAVAIR SPAWAR NAVSEA Fn CHENG MARCORSYSCOM Other industry partners/support services
15	Beyond OA, we are beginning to understand new approaches to building solutions - SOA
16	We do not know what the future holds but we do know that insight which will prevail over many years is a challenge
17	We must be able to react to trends that impact how we build systems today and in the future Net-centric warfare requires greater information superiority A 1,000-ship Navy requires a global maritime network of sharing The Global War on Terror and new emerging threats will shift priorities in the Defense budget Intensified competition, customer expectations, and unexpected market shifts are forcing industry changes Traditional approaches to R&D will not be sufficient when it comes to fostering and sustaining innovation Global connectivity is making new skills and partners accessible to employ which is creating new forms of collaboration and business models
