PROJECT OVERVIEW The US Navy and US Coast Guard currently have several classes of ships with Gun Weapon Systems (GWS) using MK20 MOD 1 Electro-Optical Sight Systems (EOSS). The current EOSS imposes obsolescence risks and issues which are exacerbated by the limitation of sources and current architecture. Updated performance criteria are needed for incorporation including Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA), Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), and Motion Industry Standards Board (MISB) standards.
