“Our company is purpose-built to drive the open-systems change the Army needs to take advantage of the commercial technology base and keep pace with the evolving threat,” said Travis Slocumb, CEO of Pacific Defense. “One hundred percent of what we do is modular, open system architecture. That, combined with this carefully curated team, will allow the Army to unlock mission systems’ technical baseline and enable rapid, recurring and affordable innovation.”

The Pacific Defense CMFF team’s layered standards will make it simpler, faster and much less expensive to rapidly introduce new capabilities and commercial technology. The standards will also reduce complex integration challenges, eliminate proprietary interfaces and enable greater competition and reuse. Pacific Defense’s CMFF team brings essential capabilities to address program requirements including ground and aviation platform design and integration, multi-waveform communications, Type 1 cryptographic implementation, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), and production at scale.

Pacific Defense is a leader in advancing integrated, open mission systems (C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards and Sensor Open Systems Architecture) for U.S. customers and Five Eyes Alliance countries. The company has invested more than $100M in its MOSA product base – both hardware and software – and has extensive integration experience, including third-party content.
