The threat landscape is evolving faster than ever, and embracing open mission systems and open architecture approaches is critical to staying ahead. However, vendor lock and rigid architectures are holding customers back. Boeing has fully committed to hardware-agnostic open approaches to field essential capabilities at the speed of relevance.

Boeing investments in separating software and hardware go back more than a decade. Customers rely on Boeing to provide the best solutions for meeting the multi-domain mission. Boeing’s turn-key software factory is delivering secure software that is scalable, upgradable, portable, reusable and enables rapid capabilities expansion and insertion.

Further, with more than a century supporting the U.S. government, Boeing is uniquely qualified to deliver information and systems security from individual parts to mission systems to data storage, processing and retrieval. This ability to build-in security from the ground-up enables customers to rely on Boeing for fastest-to-field capability and maximum flexibility with regard to evolving mission requirements.

Boeing is migrating to and leveraging secure, collaborative cloud environments to unlock next-generation development, test, and fielding of capabilities. These investments are central to building a software ecosystem that reaches across the company’s portfolio, is open to third party development partners, will integrate with U.S. Department of Defense cloud environments, and directly link to Boeing’s extensive network of lab and simulation infrastructure. These resources will not only unify data storage and processing for Boeing platforms, it realizes a key Department of Defense objective to enable real-time government-industry collaboration in a secure, scalable environment.
