C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF)
A Modular, Open-Standards Based, Tactical C5ISR Solution
The U.S. Army has selected General Dynamics Mission Systems to deliver critical C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) prototype systems. CMFF provides the latest C5ISR capabilities via field-swappable, commercial, and open-standards-based plug-in cards for tactical edge computing, radio, position, navigation and timing (PNT), and electronic warfare capabilities.
RAMPART 10 Slot Rugged 3U VPX Chassis
A Secure, Configurable CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) Solution
The General Dynamics Mission Systems Rampart™ family of chassis is designed to enable the DoD vision of a standards-based C5ISR ecosystem promoting system upgradability, modularity, reduced SWAP, improved logistics, and rapid capability evolution.
Supported by the broad availability of 3U OpenVPX™ payload capabilities, the Rampart chassis can support a wide range of mission configurations including Edge Computing, Networking, Communications, EW/ELINT, and beyond.
Plug and Play Capabilities With Open Standard Boards
The chassis is designed to fit within the SINGCARS radio space in any vehicle or platform. It collapses several different capabilities (APNT, Radio, EW) into one system featuring individual slots where 3U VPX processor cards can be inserted and upgraded rapidly with a variety of capabilities. The system is also designed to support the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft as well as other aviation assets without the need for costly modifications.
The CMOSS system will run advanced battlefield software from Palantir, Anduril, and Sierra Nevada Corporation to enable Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) during Project Convergence Capstone in 2026. The system has already run with cards from more than 20 different vendors, including Abaco, Behlman Electronics, and Pacific Defense, with more to come and is built with support from LCR Embedded Systems. The Army can now continuously develop, test, and field capability in DevSecOps mode.
The CMOSS system resists threats through NSA-certifiable muti-level security, HEMP/EW hardening, and full tactical ruggedization.
