Modified Off-The-Shelf (MOTS):
Mercury's design process for continued reliability
Mercury's design process for continued reliability
Some applications require reliable operation in the harshest environments over an extended period of time, including repeated emperature cycling over wide temperature ranges. For those deployed systems, standard ruggedization levels are not sufficient to ensure continued reliability. To address such requirements, Mercury has developed a set of design rules and manufacturing procedures to provide extreme durability resulting in Mercury’s Modified Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) service offering.
Some of the design and manufacturing processes that need to be modified for MOTS extreme durability include
Some of the design and manufacturing processes that need to be modified for MOTS extreme durability include
