Reverse & Replacement Engineering
Communications & Embedded Systems
Example of a functional replacement Project BMEWS radar synchro assembly unit
Mature components and systems require engineering support to withstand technology obsolescence and spare parts unavailability. During the past 20 years, Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers have provided the following types of form, fit, and functional replacement (FFFR) engineering services to provide improved performance, supportability, reliability, and/or lower cost:
- Studies
- Hardware and software design, development, verification, and validation
- Prototype/preproduction build, test, and evaluation
- Industrially validated technical documentation packages
- Support equipment
- Logistics support
- Source qualification
- Follow-on technical support
SwRI's independence and its extensive fabrication and test facilities allow the engineering staff to find solutions for a wide variety of applications. In addition, the staff has maintained their familiarity with government specifications and standards, current available technology, and appropriate security clearance levels.
