• Enhanced Collaboration : By providing a unified platform for information sharing and hardware integration , HHITS enhances collaboration among engineers and system integrators , leading to more efficient and effective integration processes .
4 CONCLUSION
Our research demonstrates the significant value and potential of advancing HOST data standards in conjunction with MOSA EE concepts , standards , and tooling . This advancement enables a multitude of analytic , economic , and engineering benefits across the avionics ecosystem . In particular , the business benefits of detailed data standards and tools like HHITS are extensive and impactful , promoting comprehensive Digital Engineering practices .
Established vendors can efficiently publish their hardware offerings in a consistent and accurate manner , ensuring clarity and reliability in product information . Buyers can easily find options that meet their specific performance requirements , fostering a competitive market that drives innovation and improves product quality .
Engineers benefit significantly by increasing their speed , accuracy , and confidence through the digital assembly of components before physical prototyping , reducing the risk of errors and accelerating the development process . Ultimately , the community and the public benefit from these advancements through better products delivered faster and at a lower cost , enhancing user satisfaction and contributing to technological progress .
Emerging innovations and standards further support these data-centric engineering capabilities . A key aspect of MOSA is an Enabling Environment ( EE ), which necessitates a combination of technical , business , and operational improvements throughout the enterprise .
Current efforts by OMG and other standards organizations are focused on defining the standards , patterns , and architectures necessary to realize a MOSA EE . This work , along with the development of Federated Digital Mesh architectures , is creating new opportunities for enhanced , faster , and more accessible engineering capabilities and services within avionics and other complex system domains .
