How to bid on C5ISR Center MOSA Management Office (MMO) for CMOSS / VICTORY / MORA from DEPT of the Army

What the Army is buying and why it matters

The Department of the Army is seeking information and potential partners for its C5ISR Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) program. This initiative aims to create more adaptable and interoperable C5ISR and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems for the Army and other branches of the military. The government is making technical specifications and documentation publicly available to encourage participation in this evolving ecosystem.

This effort is designed to reduce the size, weight, and power of C5ISR and EW systems, while also increasing their flexibility and adaptability. It involves using common chassis for capabilities, pooling radio and processing resources, and sharing data services like Position, Navigation, and Time (PNT). This forms a foundation for enhanced interoperability and simultaneity between C5ISR systems, and aims to reduce life cycle costs through increased competition and smaller logistics footprints.
