FACE Executive Overview
FACE Technical Standard is an open avionics standard for software developed by Government, Industry, and Academia
• FACE Approach defines a new architectural and business approach to developing / procuring avionics software
• The development of FACE Technical Standard and business approach is managed by The Open Group
• FACE Consortium documents are published by The Open Group and free to download
FACE™ Key Goals, Scope & Approach
• Improve affordability of capabilities
• Improve time-to-field, delivering new capabilities to the warfighter faster
FACE Approach
• Business processes to adjust procurement and incentivize industry
• Technical practices to promote development of reusable software components
• A component-based software standard to promote the development of portable components between differing avionics architectures
FACE Attributes and Assets
• Supporting Attributes
- Accelerate innovation and new technology insertion
- Enable cross-platform software modularity, portability, and reuse
- Create an Off-the-Shelf (OTS) software marketplace
- Align with other open architecture initiatives and industry standards
• Business Assets:
- FACE Conformance Program www.opengroup.org/face/confor...
- FACE Registry
- FACE Contract Guide
Common Misconceptions
• ALL platform software must be FACE Conformant
• Only applies to future systems
• Ensures (or inhibits) performance
• Requires unlimited Data Rights
• Cost and schedule prohibitive
• Guarantees (or prevents) airworthiness qualification
DoD and Service-Specific MOSA Guidance (33:17)
5 MOSA Principles and the FACE Approach Ecosystem (37:32 - 41:00)
MOSA: Establish Enabling Environment
FACE: Technical Standard (Data Architecture, Tools, RIG, BLASA)
MOSA: Employ Modular Design
FACE: Reference Architecture & Data Architecture
MOSA: Designate Key Interfaces
FACE: Interfaces include OSS, IOSS, TSS
MOSA: Select Open Standards
FACE: Leverages existing standards (ARINC 653 & 661, OpenGL, POSIX)
MOSA: Certify Conformance
FACE: Conformance Program Operational
FACE Approach enables the bidirectional transition of software between
- Enduring Fleet
- Future Platforms
FACE Approach enables benefits in
- New Designs
- System-level Upgrades
- Component Upgrades
• Increases Delivery Cadence of Capabilities
• Reduces Cost and Complexity
• Helps Keep Pace with Rapid Change of
- Technology Advancement
- Adversarial Threats
Enduring Fleet:
Small investment of establishing full or partial FACE Infrastructures enables benefits of
- Cost Avoidance for
• Using FACE UoCs
• Transitioning legacy software (do once instead of repeatedly)
• Migrating existing FACE UoCs to future systems
- Speed of integrating new FACE UoCs
FACE Approach supports incremental deployment to meet
- Short-term/quick reaction needs
- Long-term goals
Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software (Data Rights)
Enable flexibility and balance of Government and Industry Data Rights interest
- Acquiring PM develops Data Rights Strategy
• Guide recommends considerations including
- Identify key and most frequently changed pieces
- Understand the DFARS
- Ask for appropriate level of rights with respect to
- Usefulness near-term and long-term
- Affordability now and for full lifecycle
- Industry invests capital to
• Enhance innovation
• Establish a competitive advantage
Establishing a balanced, symbiotic market enables Government and Industry to both win
