The CNO Vision of
“Trucks and Payloads”
What The New Business Model For Naval OSA Might Look Like
Mission Design/ Warfighting Architecture
Payloads
Platforms
Radar
AIR

SURFACE
EO/ IR
SUB
NET/ Radio
NAV
MISSION
LAND
PAYLOAD
MISSION: Defines The Payload Configuration For A
Particular Platform
PAYLOAD: Modular Capabilities That Can Be Used
Across Platforms
Sonar
EV/ Weapons
IT
INTEGRATOR: Adapts Payloads To Meet Specific
Platform Requirements
PLATFORM: Basic Affordably Reconfigurable “Truck”
OSA Decouples The Mission Capability From The Delivery Platform:
Reduce Scope Of Platform Contracts (fewer mods through the build cycle)
Improved Payload Quality and Responsiveness
Better Fleet Configurability
Fewer Stovepipe Programs
