The process of legitimization of use of EEE COTS Components in Military and Space materialized due to facing Global Developments.
The main evolution steps:
- Exclusive use of MIL-SPEC/QPL/SPACE grade HI-REL hermetic EEE Components in Military and Space Applications.
- Use of MIL-PRF/QML/SPACE grade HI-REL hermetic and non hermetic and COTS in Military Applications.
- Use of MIL-PRF/QML/SPACE grade HI-REL hermetic and non hermetic and COTS in Military and Space Applications
