Extend the life of legacy defense systems without replacing what still works.
Defense programs outlast the components they depend on. When critical systems go obsolete, the choice isn't always between replacement and failure. ARC engineers form-fit-function equivalent parts and assemblies that restore performance, maintain compliance, and keep programs running without the cost and disruption of full system replacement.
MODERNIZING COMPLEX PROGRAMS
Obsolescence doesn't wait for a convenient time.
Defense systems are designed for decades of service. The components inside them aren't. As market availability diminishes and DMSMS issues surface, programs face a hard choice: find a replacement that performs to the original specification, accept degraded performance, or replace the entire system. ARC exists for the first option.
Components go end-of-life faster than defense programs do
Market availability diminishes as original manufacturers discontinue parts with no direct replacement
Full system replacement carries program risk, cost, and schedule impact
DMSMS issues compound over time, widening performance and supportability gaps
Form-fit-function replacement engineered to the original specification.
ARC re-engineers obsolete components and assemblies to deliver equivalent performance in the same form factor, with the same interfaces, and to the same functional requirements as the original. The refreshed part drops into the existing system without redesign, requalification of surrounding systems, or program disruption.

MODERNIZING COMPLEX PROGRAMS
Built for the systems defense programs depend on.
Technology refresh isn't a generic capability. The engineering depth required to re-engineer a radar component differs from that required to refresh a power supply or a signal-processing assembly. ARC's technical capability is concentrated in the areas where the pressure from defense obsolescence is highest.

Keeping defense programs running long after original components go obsolete.
ARC has supported defense programs across radar, electronic warfare, and RF systems — engineering form-fit-function replacements that restored performance, maintained compliance, and kept programs on schedule without full system replacement.
Stay mission-ready without the cost and disruption of full system replacement.
ARC engineers form-fit-function replacements for legacy defense systems, keeping programs running without the cost and disruption of full system replacement. For programs that need more than a component refresh, explore our [Modernization & Sustainment capabilities]. Let's talk about what you're dealing with.
