 The U.S. Army in Multi-Domain Operations
TRADOC PAM 525-3-1

Problem: Near peer

adversaries generate
multiple-layers of stand-off
designated to separate the
U.S. and its partners
politically and the Joint
force in space, time, and
function. Adversaries are
contesting all domains, the
electromagnetic spectrum
(EMS), and the information
environment.

Solution: The Army fields

an MDO-capable force that
is designed to counter near
peer adversaries by
competing, penetrating,
disintegrating, exploiting,
and re-competing.

MDO Components: Army

forces actively engaging
across domains including
(space & cyber), in the
EMS and in the information
environment. Convergence
optimizes the employment
of capabilities across all
domains, the EMS, and the
information environment to
stimulate, see, and strike
the enemy.

 Modular Open Systems Approaches
 WHY? At the core, C4ISR/EW systems use many of the same technologies, but they are
not always compatible between systems (e.g., amplifiers, filters, processors).
 HOW? CMOSS is being included in and managed
under the SOSA initiative with Army, Air Force, and
Navy participation. SOSA Consortium
 Reduces integration costs and risks
 Mitigates obsolescence
 Facilitates interoperability and reuse
 Accelerates fielding and deliveries

We determined the continued implementation of these standards, and further

 Equipping the Force for Multi-Domain Operations

Design Tenants
 Strategic, Operational, Tactical.
Layered approach to address Multi-
Domain requirements.

 Expeditionary. Platforms to be based

on supported maneuver unit.

 Modular. Open architecture enables

future growth to pace the threat.

 Defined Software Framework. Allows

rapid integration of signal "Libraries"
instead of costly and time consuming
integration of individual signals.

 Commonality. Similar and

complementary look-and-feel for
usability and reuse.

 Extended Range
 Automated. Machine Learning for  Large
 Small CWSB Cyber
improved CEMA responsiveness and  SPS Capabilities
reduced Soldier workload

 Rapid and Agile. Early capability with

multiple learning events and product
improvements

 What is CMOSS?
 CMOSS consists of a suite of layered standards that are individually useful and can
be combined to form a holistic converged architecture
 CMOSS goals:
‒ Provide pooled RF resources (e.g., antennas and amplifiers) for Communications, Electronic
Warfare, and Signals Intelligence systems
‒ Share processing resources (e.g., computers and displays) and data services (e.g., Position,
Navigation, and Time) to reduce SWaP requirements
‒ Facilitate rapid insertion of new capabilities into systems
Software Layer:
 Enables portability of software applications across hardware platforms
 Software framework selected based on mission area
Functional Decomposition:
 Allows for sharing of RF resources such as antennas and amplifiers
 Defines interfaces between RF functions and components
 Enables best of breed along with rapid component upgrades
Hardware Layer:
 Enables capabilities to be fielded as cards in a common chassis
 Common form factor including physical, electrical, and environmental specifications
Network Layer:
 Provides connectivity within the platform and defines interfaces between capabilities
 Enables legacy systems to share services within the converged architecture

Army, Air Force, and Navy are collaborating under the SOSA Consortium to develop a holistic
open architecture that leverages existing standards, maximizes economies of scale, and
provides the flexibility to rapidly insert the latest capabilities
