Abstract
When most people think of advanced technology and electronics they immediately think of rapid change, rapid replacement and short lifetimes. In the commercial market, product duration and support lifetimes tend to be measured in months to a few years. By comparison, reliability and supportability across many years and even a couple of decades is common for military and aerospace technology applications.
