Speaker: Dr. Yvette Rodriguez
OUSD (R&E) SE&A, along with DAU recognize the importance of creating a Department of Defense (DoD) Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Roadmap. This roadmap will guide the future direction of MOSA, with the aim of enhancing team awareness, capitalizing on strategic partnerships, using key data resources, fostering alignment across different disciplines, and setting priorities for future tasks.
Please join Dr. Yvette Rodriguez to hear about the future of DoD’s MOSA Roadmap. There will be a Q&A portion to the webinar.
Dr. Yvette Rodriguez, is currently on rotation he Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) Systems Engineering and Architecture (SE&A) and serves as the lead strategist for the future of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). She brings 29 years of Department of Defense acquisition experience and her impressive career includes roles such as the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) West Research Director, DAU Systems Engineering Professor, US Air Force Military GPS User Equipment lead acquisition expert, US Navy Weapon System Project Manager, and US Navy Combat System Installation Engineer.
Dr. Rodriguez is not only dedicated to her professional endeavors but also passionate about innovation, forward thinking, and mentoring. She actively contributes to the advancement of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), Digital Engineering and Digital Transformation (DEDT), and Systems Engineering (SE).
