The 25th edition of the OMG Journal of Innovation comprises three articles, which we hope will inspire thought and encourage a forward-thinking mindset in aviation and aerospace:

• Guiding Supply Chain Security in Aeronautic Development - by MITRE and Boeing
  Assessing aeronautics supply chain risks is complex due to the lack of standardized risk sets, evaluation practices, and result communication methods. This article proposes leveraging System of Trust™ (SoT) to address these challenges. The article also discusses NASA's effort to demonstrate real-world consequences and cost impacts on Boeing and Airbus due to supply structure changes and volatility. This work leveraged MITRE’s efforts to standardize security measurement and demonstrates its application and outcomes.
• Advancing Space Technology for ISAM Maturity and Success - by Dassault Systèmes
  Similar to the golden age of flight 100 years ago, today we are in the golden age of commercial space. New space missions – in this case In-Space Service, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) – are enabling capabilities in space to expand the space economy, improve life on earth, and extend our use of space farther than ever before.
• Digital Engineering Enables Innovative Hardware Integration Opportunities in Aerospace - by SimVentions
  Avionics systems need reliability and redundancy but face budget and time constraints. Open architecture and Digital Engineering (DE) innovations offer solutions. The US Navy’s Hardware Open Systems Technology (HOST) standard provides a modular and open approach for hardware interoperability and reuse. However, reliance on homegrown tools limits its long-term value and data reliability. SimVentions’ research for the US Navy led to the creation of the HOST Hardware Integration Toolkit (HHITS), demonstrating DE’s value in enabling transformative automation and integration for avionics systems.
