Open HW + operating system (COTS/industry standards) ? Distributed LAN interconnects ? Redundancy plus reconfigurability ? Significant growth capability ? Software distribution possible ? Vulnerable to large scale damage ? Highly constrainted by legacy stove-pipe systems TODAY - Adjunct Processing (Aegis Baselines 5P3, 6) ?UYK-43s w/COTS processors ?Point-to-point interconnection ?Display LAN ?Limited growth capability ?Vulnerable to damage n TSCE Design Goals ?Use COTS Infrastructure Technology ?Enable Plug-n-Play Component Architecture n TSCE Benefits ?
