Advanced COTS Solutions for Aerospace and Defense

In the aerospace and defense sector, the successful development of advanced systems hinges on three critical factors: time, cost and reliability.

Organizations must adhere to strict budgets and tight development schedules to deliver cutting-edge technologies without compromising on performance or reliability. Automotive Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) AEC-Q100-qualified devices do not meet the stringent reliability standards for some aerospace and defense applications. So, enhancing these COTS solutions is an effective approach to meet these challenges.

We help you leverage the widely available commercial technologies and customize them to meet the applicable aerospace and defense standards so that you can achieve an optimal balance between innovation, efficiency and adaptability. 

Advanced Device Options for Aerospace and Defense

The benefits of this approach include:

  • Faster Development: Using COTS products with minimal modifications shortens time to market while meeting specific aerospace and defense requirements 
  • Cost Savings: Mass-produced components lower costs and reduce research and development investments compared to fully custom solutions 
  • Proven Technology: Widely deployed industrial and automotive solutions enable reliability and adaptability to military-grade performance 
  • Flexibility and Scalability: Modular, new-generation systems allow seamless integration and technology upgrades 
  • High Reliability: With proper enhancements and certifications, industrial and automotive devices meet stringent aerospace and defense performance standards for durability in extreme environments

Advanced Devices Options (ADO): Balancing Innovation, Cost and Reliability

By adopting our ADO strategy, you can accelerate your innovation while maintaining cost-efficiency, flexibility and mission-critical reliability. While COTS products are widely available for general commercial use, the ADO approach involves upgrading existing COTS solutions to meet the stringent demands of the aerospace and defense industry. These enhancements may include temperature extensions, build materials, ruggedization, compliance with military standards and seamless integration into complex systems.

Key Upgrades and Customization Options

By incorporating these enhancements, our ADO approach delivers products with high reliability, extended performance and long-term viability, which makes them an excellent choice for aerospace and defense applications
