About this event

This event will look at the use of commercial off the shelf technology in aerospace civil and military projects, examining the problems as well as advantages that this creates. At technology change rate increases, some longer projects find themselves with out of date components, or components for which there is no longer any support.

The delegates will come away with an understanding of the solutions being used to deal with these specific issues, and how best to minimise implementation risk.

This event has now taken place.
