Experiences in Designing Radio Monitoring Systems using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Components
Abstract
As military tasks become more and more complex budget will increasingly be limited due to the national economic demands. Simultaneously customer specific requirements on near real-time processing, high availability, tailored systems and integrability into NATO Interoperability Management Policy are growing. The new challenge for developers and designers on the one hand consists in meeting these customer requirements and in offering modular and flexible components which can be integrated into legacy systems. On the other hand development costs have to be reduced and the time for assembling and delivering systems have to be shortened. Therefore systems for military purposes have to integrate and have to be developed with more and more extendable and pre-built standard Commercial Off-The- Shelf (COTS) components. As a main partner of the German armed forces the Rohde & Schwarz Radiomonitoring and Radiolocation Division offers customer tailored and component-based systems as well as system integration services using software and hardware COTS components. A lot of experience has been made during that process of system development tailoring and integration using COTS products.
