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 ...

Obsolescence Management of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) in Defence Systems
ISPE International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, 2012About 70 % of a system life-cycle cost is during the operations phase. Support activities, including maintenance, upgrades and repairs, are high cost items. In the past decade, performance-based contracting has become a standard agreement between the OEM and the customer that defines a fixed price for a guaranteed level of system performance over a ...

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.

Using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment to meet joint service requirements
1998 IEEE AUTOTESTCON Proceedings. IEEE Systems Readiness Technology Conference. Test Technology for the 21st Century (Cat. No.98CH36179), 1998This paper offers guidance in utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics hardware to meet critical requirements of the joint services. The common munitions BIT/reprogramming equipment (CMBRE) program utilized COTS hardware to initiate BIT and reprogram smart munitions in the extreme environments of the Air Force/Navy flight lines.

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for Robot Sensing and Control
2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC), 2019In this work we investigate the possibility of using an Android smartphone as the standalone sensor pack cum processor for a mobile robot. In addition to sensors and processing ability the smartphone has various communication infrastructure and a modern operating system.

Commercial Off-the-Shelf Games (COTS)
2016While there appears to be a growing acceptance of the use of games for learning (G4L), this acceptance is often focused on games designed specifically for learning, in other words, serious games where the educational purpose of the game is explicit and was likely part of the design goals right from the start.

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.

Lot reliability issues in commercial off the shelf (COTS) microelectronic devices
Microelectronics Reliability, 2009Three cases will point out as entire lots of unreliable microelectronic devices may reach the final user, without any warning. The conclusion is a warning against the many risks introduced for more and more small and medium end users of microelectronic devices by the lack of reliability culture.
