Technology Refresh & Insertion Technology Refresh, or P3I, is a vital component of a program’s lifecycle planning and costing analysis. Historically, deployed production programs initially target a 5-8 year window of ILS; after which technology refresh is considered a viable option. SensorCom recognizes the importance of designing-in the capability to refresh the technology on its systems and products for deployed applications throughout all the phases of its customer’s program life cycle. SensorCom can provide projections and analyses at the inception of a program’s design and development which can be utilized to define a P3I strategy allowing for maximum maintenance of the existing system packaging and application software and the minimization of hardware technology insertion costs. . SensorCom’s design provisions allow it to sustain the life of its fielded systems, and provide for short technology insertion cycles allowing Program Managers to maintain legacy software, mitigate the risk of obsolescence and reduce the overall cost of ownership. SensorCom offers upgrade planning capability that allows for short design-insertion cycles of successive refinements or successive point-technology insertions, whichever best suits the customer’s program requirements SensorCom has successfully implemented technology refresh projects on deployed systems from other vendors …maintaining the existing packaging and interfaces on the systems; refreshing the hardware; transporting and improving the performance of existing code – and eliminating known bugs in the original code. All accomplished under budget and in advance of required delivery. Any agreed upon technology refresh interval will impact upon recommended sparing levels…a function of specific program requirements and duty cycles, assumptions for continuous operation, predicted failure rates, years of deployed life and number of deployed units. SensorCom can provide recommended systems sparing levels for its customers. SensorCom can brief its customers on technology trends and developments, tradeoff analyses and estimated out-year pricing models which may impact upon technology refresh efforts…providing valuable cost-performance data. SensorCom’s technology refresh expertise allow its customers to mitigate the risk of obsolescence, whether from technological advances or market forces, by partnering with an organization having the willingness, resources and know-how to effectively address your needs and requirements.
