Briefings Direct

Coming to you from The Open Group’s Enterprise Architecture Practitioners Conference in Boston on July 21, we've assembled a panel to explore a new milit

ary aircraft systems interoperability consortium and effort, the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE).

FACE aims to promote and better support interoperability and standardization among future military avionics platforms acrossseveral branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. We define FACE, how it came about, and examine the consortium's basic goals under the tutelage of The Open Group.
Here to help better understand the promise and potential for FACE to improve costs, spur upgrades, flexibility, and accelerate the avionics 

components' development agility is our panel, David Lounsbury, Vice President for Collaboration Services at The Open Group, and Mike Williamson, Deputy Program Mana

ger for Mission Systems with the Navy's Air Combat Electronics Program Office. The conversation is moderated by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
