Real Examples of the SisTech Advantage

Proactive Component Replacement

A hypothetical client in the aerospace industry, similar to those we aim to serve in aerospace centers of excellence like Huntsville and Denver, was facing potential obsolescence of a critical IC for one of their flight communications assemblies. SisTech’s obsolescence management program flagged this component as high-risk during the initial assessment and review. We identified a suitable form-fit-function replacement with a longer projected lifecycle. We worked with the client to validate the new component, ensuring it met all performance and industry requirements. This proactive approach prevented a costly redesign and ensured the continued production of their flight control system.

Strategic Last-Time Buy

A hypothetical defense communications manufacturer, similar to clients we serve in the Pacific Northwest, was using a specialized DAC that was nearing end-of-life. No direct replacement was available. SisTech identified this risk early on and worked with the client to develop a last-time buy strategy, helping with the modeling. We calculated the required quantity based on their projected product demand and secured enough sensors to meet their needs for the next five years. This allowed the client to continue producing their government contracted equipment for the Army and USMC without interruption.
