Modular Open Architectures are a critical enabler for future operations. The UK and US are leading the way with the Land Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) Architecture (LCA) and C5ISR/EW (Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance/Electronic Warfare) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS). 

MORA (Modular Open Radio frequency Architecture) is a critical component of both architectures. It enables true open standards-based radio frequency and broad-spectrum modules, and small form factor designs, to be developed. This will reduce integration costs, increase component commonality and availability, and enable future communications capabilities. 

Olly Stanley of Lockheed Martin will outline MORA and how it operates as part of the LCA and CMOSS, before applying this to an example of the Lockheed Martin Silent CROW® podded system mounted on an unmanned aerial system. This example addresses battlefield commanders’ needs for CEMA, intelligence, electronic warfare, information operations and reliable communications today and in the future.
