  Call for Panel Proposals  


The MOSA Industry and Government Summit invites panel proposals that drive meaningful dialogue and deliver actionable insight for advancing modular open systems approaches across defense programs.

We are seeking sessions that move beyond theory to practical implementation, highlighting acquisition strategies, competitive approaches, interoperability, digital engineering integration, modular verification, and lessons learned from real-world execution.

Panels should reflect collaboration between government and industry with confirmed participants, at the time of submission. Cross-service perspectives, enterprise-level thinking, and clear takeaways that help attendees accelerate MOSA adoption and deliver mission-ready capability will be strongly favored.

Note: All selected panelists will receive full Summit registration waivers for their participation days.

 
  Suggested Topics and Tracks  

These themes are intended to spark ideas; proposals outside these topics are encouraged, provided they align with the goals of MOSA adoption.


  • Open architecture and interoperability
  • Standards, APIs, data models, plug-and-play interfaces
  • Cross-platform compatibility and cross-program integration
  • Digital engineering, AI and automation
  • Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) with MOSA
  • AI/ML for system behavior, diagnostics, and optimization
  • Automation in architecture evaluation, test, and validation
  • Acquisition, budget and governance
  • Acquisition strategies that enable modularity
  • Funding and resource allocation for modular upgrades
  • Governance, oversight, and accountability in MOSA programs
  • Testing, verification and validation
  • Test architectures that support modular interfaces
  • Verification of composable systems
  • Continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) for MOSA
  • Domain applications and dual-use
  • Aerospace, maritime, land, space, unmanned systems
  • Dual-use / commercial crossover of modular systems
  • MOSA in legacy system transformation
  • Workforce, culture, and change management
  • Preparing teams for modular design and sustainment
  • Organizational change, stakeholder alignment, and culture shift
  • Ethical, security, and supply chain implications

Why Participate?

By organizing and/or speaking on a panel, you gain the opportunity to:

Shape the MOSA agenda. Your panel can influence how modular systems evolve across government and industry.

Engage with decision-makers. You’ll interact with senior DoD, tri-service, and systems leadership.

Gain visibility. You’ll be positioned as a thought leader in MOSA adoption.

Cost benefit. Accepted panelists attend the Summit at no registration cost.

Key Dates and Deadlines

Each submission must include:
  • Proposal Submission Deadline: March 15, 2026
  • Acceptance Notification: May 2026
