This FREE live webinar is the eighth in our series of seminars, “Talking on COTS for Space with Dan Friedlander”.
The space policy has to progress more quickly to keep pace with global development.
The space specifications penalize the COTS by a last-resort policy.
The presentation contains comments related to the official methodology. The methodology needs an in-depth revisit to become more affordable for the industry and to eliminate nonvalue-added activities.
New thinking is needed to adapt to reality.
