7. Example Enabler: Flexible Infrastructure (FI)
A system of systems that provides the capability for rapid compartment re-fit without the use of “hot work” and provides the following benefits:
Objectives:
Maximize time for technology development prior to equipment installation during construction outfitting
Eliminate cost and schedule impacts associated with the traditional conflicts from re-work and change orders during new construction
Ease compartment reconfiguration to support changing missions and lifecycle refresh of electronic components
