The FACE Technical Standard: Enabling modular, open, and future-proof avionics systems
December 04, 2025
In recent years, the accelerating pace of technological advancement in both military and civilian aviation has revolutionized avionics systems development. At the heart of this revolution is the standard known as the Future Airborne Capability Environment, or FACE, Technical Standard. In tandem with the modular open systems approach (MOSA), the FACE standard is laying the foundation for modern, open software architectures for airborne platforms. The FACE Technical Standard is not just another industry standard – instead, it represents a major departure away from monolithic, proprietary systems toward more open, modular, and reusable software components.
