Surveillance radars developed in the 1990's have extensively exploited the use of previous developed components and subsystems to significantly reduce development cost and schedule. The wide array of experiences has offered interesting examples and lessons learned. Development of air traffic control and military ground based and airborne surveillance radars using reuse and COTS have saved millions of dollars and years of time. Tailored Systems Engineering development processes were key to optimize system quality, time and cost savings when using COTS and reuse. Tailored processes helped minimize the amount of “bumps in the road” and team morale issues frequently experienced with previously developed components.
