The core equities and technical expertise of DTI personnel support the development of unmanned systems and payloads, command and control technology upgrade projects in the fields of military sensor technologies and signal distribution and display systems, and LAN/WAN topologies. Included in these efforts are the design, development, and implementation of various engineering changes requested by Defense Agencies for existing or new technologies to be employed by individual commands as well as joint strike forces.

Component obsolescence is a major problem challenging industrial, consumer, biomedical and military organizations. Much of the semiconductor industry is far more interested in developing and selling high volume products to the commercial markets than to relatively low-volume markets such as defense and other government systems. Many organizations find that addressing obsolescence problems requires more attention and effort than can be afforded. Compounding this problem is the fact that not only must obsolescence problems be dealt with, but component changes must be integrated into products. It becomes especially difficult for small entities to handle these often difficult design efforts while trying to win new business. Long design cycles of military projects can include many Manufacturer printed circuit assembly (PCA) revisions. Due to component obsolescence several PCA redesigns may be required during any project life cycle. In addition to component obsolescence other problems include loss of engineering documentation, loss of knowledge, and changes in integrated circuit or discrete component specifications. As the military depends more on COTS manufacturing more and more obsolescence issues must be managed. Inventive solutions must be developed to support projects requiring long life cycles.

Organizations facing the hurdle of obsolescence can turn to Defense Technologies, Inc. (DTI) to help solve “end of life” issues. At DTI services are available for turning component obsolescence dilemmas into a resolvable plan. Issues currently being addressed by DTI include: Crash Survivable Flight Incident Recorder, Structural Data Recorder Set, and the Replacement Data Storage System for the Naval Inventory Control Point; AN/AYK-14(V) for the Naval Air Command; OASIS and Programmable Entry Panels for Lockheed Corporation; Advanced Sonobuoy Communications Link; and the R2331(D)/URN Radio Receiver.
