Interoperable Open Architecture 2013

Looking to an Interoperable, Open, Innovative and Effective Procurement Future

The most important change for a generation is taking place in the world of military procurement, yet all too often it remains misunderstood or worse, hidden from view!

Interoperable Open Architecture 2013 will shine a light on the remarkable steps that are being taken towards an interoperable, flexible and cost effective reality. Time and cost have plagued defence procurement for years but Interoperable Open Architecture 2013 will examine how using open standards and data dictionaries can erase these complications and improve operational, technical and commercial flexibility.

For the first time, Defence IQ will be showcasing the increasing crossover between military and civilian standards.

As AUTOSAR reaches its 10th anniversary, the opportunity to gain fresh insight into vetronix and vehicle architectures is an as yet unknown quantity. Attending this unique event will allow you to play a vital role in shaping the international standardsthat are currently being development.

• Learn how open standards are helping to reduce the time and cost of procurement and make procurement truly competitive and the FACE Consortium is bringing the US DoD ‘App Store’ a step closer.
• Moving from development to implementation – understanding the complications of certification and compliance in a time of austerity
• Understand how the nature of procurement is changing, how that is going to affect you and how you can position yourself to benefit from this change
