The following Open Architecture requirements apply to all Items described below:
The Government intends to design and procure system(s) having Open Architecture designs and corresponding components to the maximum extent practical for the MK 41 VLS. The contractor shall define, document, and follow an open systems approach for using modular design, standards-based interfaces, and widely-supported consensus based standards. The contractor shall develop, maintain, and use an open systems management plan and demonstrate compliance with that plan during all design reviews. As part of an open systems management plan, the contractor shall identify to the Government all Commercial-Off-the-Shelf/Non-development Item (COTS/NDI) components, their functionality, and provide copies of license agreements related to the use of these components for Government approval prior to use. The contractor shall analyze the costs and risks of individual open interfaces and address these findings into the open systems management plan. The proposed open systems management plan will be incorporated into the contract with any changes, alterations, and/or modifications requiring Government approval.
1. In satisfying the Government's requirements, the following design approach characteristics shall be utilized:
a. Open Architecture - The contractor shall develop and maintain an architecture that incorporates appropriate considerations for configurability, portability, maintainability, technology insertion, vendor independence, reusability, scalability, interoperability, upgradeability, and long-term supportability.
b. Modular, Open Design - The contractor shall develop an architecture that is layered and modular and uses COTS/NDI hardware, operating systems, and middleware that utilize non-proprietary or non-vendor unique, key Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). As part of its open system management plan, the contractor will be required, at a minimum, to describe how the proposed system architecture meets these goals, including the steps taken to use non-proprietary or non-vendor unique COTS or reusable NDI components wherever practicable.
c. System Requirements Accountability - The contractor shall ensure that all system requirements (including those contained in the Initial Capabilities Document, Capabilities Development Document, Capabilities Production Document, and in this Section C are accounted for through a demonstrated ability to trace each requirement to one or more modules that consist of components that are self-contained elements with well-defined, open and published interfaces implemented using open standards.
d. Inter-component Dependencies - The design shall minimize inter-component dependencies to allow components to be decoupled and reused, where appropriate, across various naval programs and platforms.
e. Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) - The contractor shall describe its rationale for the modularization choices made to generate the design. The contractor's rationale must explicitly address any tradeoffs performed, particularly those that compromise the modular and open nature of the system. The MOSA requirements will not apply to the legacy components that exist within the MK 41 VLS.
f. MOSA Objectives - The contractor shall specify how it plans to use MOSA to enable the system to adapt to evolving requirements and threats; accelerate transition from science and technology into technology and deployment; facilitate systems reconfiguration and integration; reduce the development cycle time and total life cycle cost; maintain continued access to cutting edge technologies and products from multiple suppliers; and mitigate the risks associated with technology obsolescence, being locked into proprietary or vendor-unique technology, and reliance on a single source of supply over the life of the system.
g. Open Systems Management Plan - The contractor shall provide a plan for supporting the proposed Modular Open System Approach, including, but not limited to, plans for integrating the systems under development both internally and externally, a strategy for maintaining the currency of the technology (through COTS and other reusable NDI insertion, technology refresh strategies, and other appropriate means) and creation of different processes necessary to support MOSA.
h. Technology Insertion - The contractor's architectural approach shall support the rapid and affordable insertion and refreshment of technology through modular design, the use of open standards and open interfaces.
i. Life-Cycle Sustainability - The contractor shall consider use of COTS/NDI and open standards to enhance the system's life-cycle supportability by implementing performance-based logistics arrangements to sustain the components through their life cycle.
j. Interface Design and Management - The contractor shall:
i. Clearly define and describe all component and system interfaces;
ii. Define and document all subsystem and configuration item (CI) level interfaces to provide full functional, logical, and physical specifications;
iii. Identify processes for specifying the lowest level (i.e. subsystem or component) at and below which it intends to control and define interfaces by proprietary or vendor-unique standards and the impact of that upon its proposed logistics approach. Interfaces described shall include, but not be limited to, mechanical, electrical (power and signal wiring), software, firmware, and hardware;
iv. Identify the interface and data exchange standards between the component, module or system and the interconnectivity or underlying information exchange medium;
v. Consider using these interfaces to support an overall information assurance strategy that implement Information Assurance Processes (IA);
vi. If applicable, select external interfaces from existing open or Government standards with an emphasis on enterprise-level interoperability. The contractor shall describe how its selection of interfaces will maximize the ability of the system to easily accommodate technology insertion (both hardware and software) and facilitate the insertion of alternative or reusable modular system elements
k. Treatment of Proprietary or Vendor-Unique Elements - The contractor shall explain the use of proprietary, vendor-unique or closed components or interfaces. If applicable, the contractor will define its process for identifying and justifying proprietary, vendor-unique or closed interfaces, code modules, hardware, firmware, or software to be used. When interfaces, hardware, firmware, or modules that are proprietary or vendor unique are required, the contractor shall demonstrate to the Government that those proprietary elements do not preclude or hinder other component or module developers from interfacing with or otherwise developing, replacing, or upgrading open parts of the system.
l. Open Business Practices - The contractor shall demonstrate that the modularity of the system design promotes the identification of multiple sources of supply and/or repair, and supports flexible business strategies that enhance subcontractor competition. The contractor shall conduct a market survey to identify COTS candidates and other reusable NDI capable of achieving the performance requirements of solutions that it proposes to custom build. The survey results shall be provided to support each major review. COTS and other reusable NDI selection criteria shall address the following factors, at a minimum: Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD) immunity;
Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC); Integrated Logistics Support requirements; Safety; Reliability consistent with the environment described in the System Specification;
Maintainability; Subsystem performance trade-offs; Power, cooling, and physical form factors; Open system architecture break out compatibility; Cost; Manufacturer's quality assurance provisions; Market acceptability;
Obsolescence; Adequacy of available technical and intellectual property data and re-procurement data rights on the product; and Merits of the software supported by the product.
m. Reuse of Pre-existing or Common Items - The contractor shall reuse pre-existing or common items unless a determination is made by the contractor to not reuse. Contractor decisions not to reuse pre-existing items must be accompanied by one or more justifications such as cost (both of adoption and life cycle support), schedule, functional and non-functional performance, etc. The general objective of these efforts shall be the development of common system and/or common elements or components which meet the performance requirements of the various U.S. Navy or Marine Corps platform missions, where commonality offers the greatest technical and cost benefits.
n. Third Party Development - The contractor shall address how it will provide to the Government information needed to support third-party development and delivery of competitive alternatives of designs for other components or modules on an ongoing basis. The contractor shall provide a list of those proprietary, vendor-unique elements that it requests be exempt from this review.
o. Life Cycle Management and Open Systems - The contractor's architecture shall provide for insertion of COTS into the system and demonstrate that COTS, reusable NDI, and other components are logistically supported throughout the life cycle. The contractor shall describe and demonstrate the strategy for reducing product or system and associated supportability costs through insertion of COTS and other reusable COTS or NDI products.
