Future Initiatives for Obsolescence Mitigation Strategies
Abstract
The accelerating pace of technology change requires new approaches to the design manufacture and through life support of military and long life cycle commercial platforms to minimize the effects of short-term technology obsolescence. The purpose of this paper is to describe medium and long-term strategies for the mitigation of obsolescence currently being considered in the UK. All complex military equipment are at risk from the effects of unmanaged technology obsolescence before and after they enter service. A systems sentineling approach is described for the evolution of strategies that would involve co-operation between users and manufacturers to produce affordable through life solutions.
