Abstract
This paper seeks to identify the causes of obsolescence in military test equipment, specifically in automated test equipment, while offering potential alternatives to reduce the occurrence and impact of the changes required. The analysis and alternatives is at a system level to advocate a proactive approach rather than the reactive approach forced by individual occurrences. The use of automated tools for predictive analysis is emphasized. An approach to reduce the impact of obsolescence is detailed
