Abstract Legacy systems abound in the Navy. In many cases it is infeasible or ill advised to develop new systems from scratch. Yet due to new system requirements, increasing maintenance costs, or other reasons it is desirable to somehow replace or upgrade these systems. There is also a desire to capture some of the capabilities inherent in these systems and somehow reuse them. This paper looks at some of the issues involved reengineering, and in particular those that tend to be unique to or more pronounced in Navy systems. It also briefly describes some progress that has been made using language translation to facilitate reengineering of Navy systems to open architectures.
