Lowering program risk is more important than ever
In today’s aerospace and defense industry, program life cycles are growing longer but electronic component longevity isn’t keeping up. Declining defense spending over the last decade has caused the average age of military systems to increase, reaching an average of 29 years for U.S. military aircrafts. It is increasingly difficult to forecast customer program requirements, and financial constraints are at an all-time high.
