Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the Chief of Naval Operations shared with Federal News Radio his thoughts on Open Architecture, modular systems and competition stating, "We need to focus on payloads, not on building ships or aircraft that are so integrated that the prime contractor does it all," he said. "Give me the basics, and then I'll go out to buy smaller, distributed systems. We have little clips of this in the unmanned industry. We reached out to replace our manned mine countermeasure systems, and we found that smaller companies can provide unmanned systems that can provide acoustics and other capabilities. They're amazing, and it starts a competition."
