The document discusses the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) initiative, which provides an open architecture for rapid software deployment and interoperability across military platforms. It highlights the benefits of using FACE's conformant software and safety/security evidence to accelerate military program development and reduce costs. The FACE consortium, formed in 2010, comprises various industry and government organizations, and aims to improve software reuse and integrate legacy and future systems.
