The Challenge Increased DoD use / reliance on microelectronics (“Smart” weapon systems) Essential technology for all military missions Strategic, tactical, C4I, special ops “Critical” DoD technology Enabling technology for transformational opportunities Extended system life cycles (20 – 40 years) Increased reliability and maintainability issues Rapidly evolving, expanding missions - new capability requirements Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) Decreased technology stability Dynamic development drives obsolescence cycles of 18 months or less Over 95% of all DoD DMS cases are electronics Increased DoD use / reliance on microelectronics (“Smart” weapon systems) Essential technology for all military missions Strategic, tactical, C4I, special ops “Critical” DoD technology Enabling technology for transformational opportunities Extended system life cycles (20 – 40 years) Increased reliability and maintainability issues Rapidly evolving, expanding missions - new capability requirements Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) Decreased technology stability Dynamic development drives obsolescence cycles of 18 months or less Over 95% of all DoD DMS cases are electronics 2040+ 94+ Years B-52 19551946 Notional Projected Lifetime Extended Life 050100 Years
