Next-generation fighter platforms, their pilots and the future of air dominance will face more challenges than ever before, including a complex international security environment and rapidly evolving technologies from near-peer threats. We must maintain a competitive edge against adversaries, leveraging enabling technologies that accommodate the need for enhanced mission flexibility, rapid prototyping, integration and deployment.

Development of Collins Aerospace next-generation systems for allied fighter aircraft is driven by our expertise and innovation. We develop robust, open and networked systems across our product lines to reduce development, integration and certification cycle times, enabling rapid fielding of crucially needed capabilities.

Enabling the next generation of air dominance - Mosarc™ avionics

Mosarc – delivering a modular, open, scalable, and secure avionics architecture providing ability to consistently provide capability to the warfighter as the mission demands.

Through Collins' MOSA compliant design approach and Mosarc family of capabilities, we offer fighter fleet owners a cost-effective solution to provide innovation at the speed of relevance to their fleet, reducing supply chain risk and protecting previous investments while upgrading to new technologies that keep us ahead of our adversaries.

Mosarc

To ensure a more agile and flexible sixth generation fighter, avionics solutions must be built around an open systems engineering approach and architecture to enable rapid technology insertions and increased mission flexibility to help outpace evolving enemy threats and ensure sustained air dominance. Collins' cost saving Mosarc open systems solutions eliminate vendor lock and assists customers in protecting previous investments while proving an infrastructure to quickly integrate and deliver new capability to the field at the speed of relevance.
