The Pentagon is utilizing open architecture to rapidly upgrade stealth bombers and fighters, such as the B-21 and F-35, by decoupling software from hardware. This approach breaks proprietary barriers and enables seamless data sharing. The use of open architecture is also driving the development of JADC2.

Why it matters

The adoption of open architecture is significant as it allows for faster and more flexible upgrades, enhancing the military's ability to adapt to emerging threats. This approach also promotes interoperability and data sharing across different systems and platforms.
