"Dr Dewar might be surprised to know that the GPS Operational Control
System is being replaced with a system that is 80% COTS. There
are at least four COTS products currently available to command and
control military satellites. Air Force Space Command has selected
one of these to replace the basis of every one of their satellite
control segments. Soon is rapidly approaching...
"
On the contrary, I am very aware of the satellite COTS software, very nice!
I saw an impressive demonstration of one package on one of the new
Indigo-2 machines (Maximum Impact) at Sandia Labs. This indeed is a good
example of legitimate and appropriate use of COTS (if indeed this sofware
is of appropriate quality). However, I still think it will be a while before
all of DoD's software nees will be able to met off the shelf :-)
