Solving the product life-cycle dilemma has been an increasing challenge for suppliers of embedded computing systems, especially if the target markets comprise defense applications that require product life cycles well in excess of 10 years. Aitech Defense Systems, Inc. is taking a three-phased approach and now offers full support and a product availability guarantee for all boards and systems developed by the company for a minimum of 12 years from initial production date.
Aitech’s three-phased COTS Lifecycle+ Program ensures that customers will be able to obtain the needed component parts and support to keep systems running effectively well into the future. Each phase guarantees a minimum support period of four years. The Aitech COTS Lifecycle+ Program was developed to ensure product availability for end users as well as to provide a base of stable COTS embedded computing components that allows systems and subsystems to continue functioning over an extended period of time, and at optimum performance.
