Open Architecture Open Acquisition or Both Carlo Zaffanella

Open Architecture, Open Acquisition or Both? Carlo Zaffanella Vice President General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems Slide 1

Out of Theory – Into Practice • Independence-class LCS using Open Architecture and Open Business Model • Common Display System (CDS) Delivered 150 Multi-Level Secure CDS displays o Shipping 10 -15/week o Littoral Combat Ship • Common Track Manager o Developing one Track Manager for both Aegis and SSDS Common Display System • Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) Five vessels under contract o First Total Ship Computing Environment completed for JHSV 1 o Slide 2 Common Track Manager

Evolving Our Open Architecture Increasing Efficiency Littoral Combat Ship • Developed Open Computing Infrastructure (Open. CI) • Published Open Data Model • Facilitates third party product integration • Enables reduced manning through capabilities like any display anywhere Multi-Mission Combatant • Open. CI reused on Joint High Speed Vessel • Utilized LCS Open. CI MMC to integrate broader set of sensors and weapons • Architecture enables same infrastructure to meet MMC requirements to meet requirements of C 2 system • Same computing infrastructure and tools scaled down to meet JHSV needs Transportation Security Agency Slide 3 • Open. CI reused to meet needs of new customers • Built from the beginning with reuse in mind

USS Independence (LCS 2) Performance • Open. CI Facilitates Reduced Manning - Operating the ship with a crew of 44 o Any-Display-Anywhere technology o Integration of sea frame control systems and combat system o Fully disclosed interface with dozens of third party HW/SW components • Scored unprecedented 98/100 on Detect-to-Engage test at sea trials o OA system meets real-time performance requirements • System continued to operate through power failure Reduced Manning Bridge Integrated 57 mm Gun Slide 4 Integrated Sea. RAM

Challenges & Opportunities • Reality of Cost o Perception of open systems costing more o Savings of open systems are in standardization, reuse, commonality, competition • Realizing intellectual property still has a place – just not at the interfaces Protecting IP is critical for third party developers, particularly small businesses o Fosters innovation and competition o • Sustainability/Provisioning model required Challenges must be overcome to achieve the next level of Open Architecture and Open Business promise Slide 5

Summary • Open Architecture has come of age Demonstrated performance in challenging environments o Reuse generating tangible cost benefits o • Bringing OA and Open Business to new customers • Success of OA requires consistent customer support Disclosed interfaces o Ongoing competitions / Open Business Model o Understanding that savings are in reuse and tech insertion o Slide 6
