"The NRC was asked by the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition to examine issues associated with aging avionics in military aircraft. An ad hoc Committee was formed under the Air Force Science and Technology Board and the Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems (now Division on Engineering and Physical Systems) at the National Academy of Sciences in February 2000. The National Academies was tasked to gather all pertinent information, include a review of Diminishing Manufacturing Sources, and provide recommendations on new approaches and innovative techniques to improve management of aging avionics. The overall goal was to help the Air Force to enhance supportability and replacement of aging and obsolescing avionics and minimize associated life cycle costs. Avionics systems, like all computer-based systems, are operating on a life cycle of about two to three years, while the systems within which they are imbedded have life cycles as long as several decades. This report identified management, technical, and business issues and solutions to the problem of aging and obsolescing avionics systems in military aircraft."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
