PEO Soldier is currently standing up its own version. Without the integration stakeholder communities’ efforts across program lines and communicating on cross-portfolio funding oppor- tunities, no one would be minding the wheel on the bottom-up approach.


• Additionally, PEO GCS is developing reference imple- mentation architectures starting with current state and extending to mid- and long-term milestones toward the modernization goals of Army 2030 and beyond. A key element is the modular open systems approach


(MOSA) and the PEO GCS instantiation GCS Common Infrastructure Architecture, aka the “digital backbone.” To understand what this means, picture a networked flip phone, handheld GPS unit, handheld digital organiza- tional assistant, and many other devices being what you take into combat. Tese are all yesterday’s technologies and yesterday’s methods of integrating systems. A digi- tal backbone such as is found in an interconnected smart home, touch screen smartphone or modern electric vehi- cles, is the direction MOSA will take us.


• Another element is the physical integration space— the Standardized A-Kit / Vehicle Envelope (SAVE), recently signed by the Army acquisition executive, Doug- las R. Bush, which provides a common physical space, environment and interface characteristics for radios,
