PACE Aerospace & IT is proud to reaffirm our commitment to the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE®) Technical Standard with the election of Jeff Bott as Chair of the FACE Business Working Group (BWG).

Jeff brings a wealth of industry expertise to this leadership role, demonstrated through his work as Director of Sales and Business Development for North America at PACE. As Chair, he aims to increase industry engagement and raise awareness of the FACE Technical Standard across the Aerospace, Defense, and Land Systems sectors by fostering a more outward-focused strategy within the BWG.

I am honored to be elected Chair of the BWG for the FACE® Technical Standard, supporting one of the few open standards that fully align with all five MOSA principles, and one that is mature enough for immediate integration into both airborne and land-based systems,” said Jeff Bott.

Joining the FACE® Business Working Group is a strategic move to drive sustainable innovation and shape the future of our industry promoting standards, interoperability, and global collaboration across the industry. Congratulations to Jeff on his well-earned appointment as Chair of the FACE® Business Working Group — a testament to his leadership and expertise!” said Andrea Bassi, Head of HMI & Embedded Graphics at PACE.

PACE sincerely thanks the individuals and organizations who have dedicated their time and expertise to developing the FACE® Technical Standard. We look forward to supporting its continued growth and success in delivering affordable, open, and interoperable capabilities.
