V-22 Technology Refresh “Digital Backbone”

The Naval Air Systems Command is conducting market research for innovative software-based "Digital Backbone" solutions for the V-22 Osprey platform. The goal is to enable rapid integration of third-party applications and new technologies without requiring OEM-led modifications to the mission computer software. Desired solutions include SDKs, APIs, test tools, and open architecture support (e.g., FACE, MOSA), with an emphasis on faster capability integration, reduced lifecycle costs, and improved data throughput.
