Electronic Systems
Proprietary Information
Current Environment (1)
• Constantly Changing Requirements
– Fleet role, fleet structure, fleet size
– Address thru agile, flexible logistics and maintenance
• More emphasis on Systems
– Systems vs. components
– Simpler maintenance chain but more dependence on 1st line effectiveness
– More dependence on 3rd line repair
• Increasing System complexity
– Evolving Technology changes
– Open Architecture drives tech refresh
21
Electronic Systems
Proprietary Information
Current Environment (2)
• Extended System Life Cycles –shorter technology life cycle
– Obsolescence management
• Greater Utilization of COTS
– Driven by lower initial cost
– Supply Chain and maintenance shifts downstream
– IP – on-going issue when seeking support alternatives
• More outsourcing
– OEM driven from original contractual arrangements
– Alternatives may be opaque given IP
