Commercial-off-the shelf (COTS): a challenge to military equipment reliability
Proceedings of 1996 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium, 2002Commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) military equipment offers the promise of technology advancement, low cost and reduced acquisition time. Unfortunately, it also offers the opportunity for a reliability and logistics disaster because commercial parts, standards, and practices may not meet military requirements. Additionally, commercial vendors have little

Polarization analysis of retroreflection from commercial off the shelf (COTS) sensors
Technologies for Optical Countermeasures XIV, 2017Previous work involved detection of retroreflected signals, focusing on polarization as a discriminator. We continue to explore the formalisms of the Stokes vector and Mueller matrix for characterization of retroreflection for common sensors such as commercial cameras.

Use of Plastic Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Microcircuits for Space Applications
2003 International Electronic Packaging Technical Conference and Exhibition, Volume 2, 2003Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEM) are candidate-packaging technologies for spacecraft due to their enhanced performance, lower weight and lower cost. Much of the electronics used in space applications would be considered obsolete by everyday standards.

9.5.1 Evolving risks and use of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components
INCOSE International Symposium, 2004AbstractAs we continue to defend our nations, the increased use of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technology in military, infrastructure and other systems necessitates different approaches to address evolving risks and opportunities. COTS technologies have become far more capable over the last 10 years and that trend shows no sign of slowing. In fact,

Modified commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) antenna for satcom on-the-move (SOTM)
IEEE Military Communications Conference, 2003. MILCOM 2003., 2004This paper describes a Ku-band transmit and receive small aperture antenna suitable for operation while on a moving high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) in the 11.7-12.2 GHz downlink and 14.0-14.5 GHz uplink fixed satellite service (FSS) frequency band.

Modifying Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Games for Use in Education
2011The use of computer and video games in education is not a new phenomenon. However, the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) games, specifically the modification (“modding”) of them to allow for use in an educational setting, is a relatively new area that is gaining more traction in educational circles.

ImpACT: An Alternative to Technology Readiness Levels for Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software
2004The use of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) as a tool in assessing acquisition and development program risk has steadily increased over the past several years. There is considerable evidence to support the utility of using TRLs as part of a risk assessment, but there are some difficulties in using TRLs with software, especially Commercial-Off-The ...

Evaluation of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Electronics for Extreme Cold Environments
2018 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2018Deep space and Icy Moon missions (Titan, Enceladus, Ceres, Europa, & Ganymede) will need qualified extreme environment capable components for electronic systems located in extremities of their rovers and spacecraft. Commercial off the shelf (COTS) components would be advantageous to use for some aspects of such projects, given that they are easier to ...
