The F-22 Raptor, a cornerstone of American air dominance, has been a symbol of military prowess for decades. The integration of a modular open systems approach (MOSA) – a strategic initiative that emphasizes and enables the rapid integration of advanced software, sensors, and other capabilities – lies at the heart of its continued relevance.

In an exclusive interview, Justin Taylor, Vice President of the F-22 program at Lockheed Martin, shares insights into the journey of implementing MOSA on the Raptor and its implications for future military aviation.

Designers of systems aimed at countering unmanned aerial systems (UASs) or drones can now take advantage of open architecture designs and modular artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to detect, identify, track, and mitigate potentially dangerous aircraft.

The Department of the Navy (DoN) plans to make some waves in the battle for limited resources. In over a thousand multiservice entries spanning all unmanned systems domains across the Department of Defense (DoD) in the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Congress primarily funded the air domain. The DoN response to the maritime hit: a rallying cry to roll the entire air, sea, ground, and manned/unmanned enterprise together to create an affordable, integrated, lethal, scalable, survivable and connected force. It’s called the Unmanned Campaign Framework.
