Legacy systems play a vital role in productivity for government agencies, and issues of obsolescence are continually emerging. ARC’s expertise in system sustainment and technology modernization has provided solutions to extend the service life of countless products and test systems. Since our inception, we have provided the Federal Aviation Administration with sustainment solutions and low-level system refresh to help maintain their systems. With system life cycles being extended well beyond their original expectancy, the need for redesign, upgrade, improved repair and testing capabilities is a paramount concern for many business and government entities.
Utilizing our staff’s extensive background in design of analog, digital, fiber optic, communication, and RF technologies, ARC has been successful in inserting new technologies in many systems supporting the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). Our highly-skilled engineering team works directly with the client to define the target replacement modules operating parameters. This information is obtained from the OEM’s design specifications (if available), test specifications and procedures, and system level characterization. We then produce a fit, form, and functional prototype First Article Unit and work with the customer to achieve First Article Test acceptance. Once approved, production units and an updated document package are supplied.
Re-host offers the greatest opportunity to improve existing test systems by increasing the systems reliability, functionality and flexibility. Through equipment and software upgrades, a system re-host can decrease downtime, increase the availability of spare components, data recording capability and offer a clear path for future system upgrades. Additionally, the technology in updated systems is more accessible to today’s technical personnel as most training programs are geared towards current technology.
The benefits of the re-host process enable you to increase the productivity of the system, greatly reduce the cost of maintenance and minimize the chance of future obsolescence.
