Maritime Systems & Sensors
Background
Started with an interest in being able to predict how often change must occur to a system in order to mitigate the impacts of individual component obsolescence, especially in COTS systems.
Note that a component in this definition can be a part at any level in the hierarchy.
Programs of initial interest were:
• JSF (F-35) - Started the interest with planned TR and TI during development window and management of a COTS-intensive solution, particularly at the board and sub-assembly levels.
• SLVR - Super Low and Very Low Frequency Radar offered a small-sized project to test the manual process that evolved into the R2T2 web-based (ASP format) engine.
• ACS - Aerial Common Sensor (Army) Concept Exploration phase allowed for further refinement of the model and initial validation.
• ARCI – Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion, Advanced Processing Build

R2T2 Summary & Abstract
Abstract
Current noteworthy industry capabilities are focused on component-level obsolescence predictions (such as TACTrac, i2 LCE and MOCA) and look to predict only the “next” obsolescence issue. This R2T2 technology assessment engine permits the level of abstraction to be raised to sub-assembly, unit, sub-system and the system level in support of System-of-Systems design. This tool also focuses on the technologies and their behavior (based on history and/or user knowledge inputs). The algorithm for assessing a system behavior from the aggregation of the technology elements is the heart of this research.
Summary of the Intent
Rapid Response Technology & Trade Study methodology and aid for Technology Forecasting and Strategy Recommendations (especially useful during proposal and early conceptual phases)

• TACTrac (a product now owned by i2, previously owned by TACTECH). Part level (capacitor, transistors, etc.) obsolescence database, with extensive industry probing and data gathering. Very expensive product (about $20,000 plus annual fees for weekly updates). It rates a product on a scale of 1(new) to 5(obsolete). Provides warnings of impending obsolescence.
• LCE (also owned by i2, their original product), also expensive, and uses the TACTrac model of data gathering and database management. Same idea, get data from industry, compile and sell.
• MOCA (University of Maryland, CALCE organization) is a research-level C++ programmed Graduate project. It takes output from a TACTrac or LCE and uses it to predict a program Tech Refresh point. It uses production schedules and part tracking. Still too low a level for consideration. No cost data (no sales yet).

R2T2 Approach
•R2T2 performance is based on:R2T2 performance is based on:– Engineering data and technology assessment inputs
– Develops a program-level synchronous TR frequency
– Optimizes the recommended TR frequency based on life cycle cost
– Develops a TR Plan for each refresh point, identifying necessary changes by part number.
– Develops a Life Cycle Plan for each system serial number
– Allows for What-if Analysis to compare baseline options quickly
– Provides a quick/coarse Reliability Assessment for comparisons
– Develops a coarse Cost Estimate (can use Price or ICE as desired)
– Integrated, Web-deployed, uses databases (no shadowing)
– Clean, open architecture implementation maximizing flexibility
