“…Several papers published through IEEE document various approaches to evaluating and selecting software COTS for use. The research documented in a Thorough Approach for Evaluation and Selection of COTS (TAES-COTS) (Basir et al 2014) identifies thirteen prior evaluation methods in various publications, and then expands on those themes by sharing a five step process that evaluates products against different criteria in multiple stages (a progressive evaluation). This process appears to expand on the CURE process by introducing the concept of project-developed parameters of assessment for non-functional software requirements and attributes.…”

A need for reduction in cost has driven many aerospace companies to consider using Commercial‐off‐the‐shelf (COTS) hardware products during a space‐based system design and development phase. Newly developed fixed‐price space systems have a difficult challenge to address; they need to optimize their processes and requirements for cost while still adhering to the appropriate level of risk and rigor for their project. For many government‐funded fixed‐price projects, there is still an expectation of compliance to government standards and associated proof, which can be a challenge when evaluating usage of COTS hardware that may contain limited documentation. This paper presents research done to date for COTS usage in both the software and hardware domains, building upon this to provide a framework for evaluation and verification of COTS hardware assemblies used in a risk averse, cost constrained space‐based applications.

“…Empirical evidence suggests that the successful acquisition of COTS equipment is related to practical methodologies for selecting and evaluating potential candidates (Basir et al, 2015). Selection and analysis are performed according to customer requirements to enable selection of the appropriate COTS equipment portfolio (Tarawneh et al, 2011).…”

To reduce the time and costs associated with the lifecycle of military equipment for continued operational effectiveness, Departments of Defense purchase Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products. In this way, design and development costs are passed on to the manufacturer. At the same time, it is possible to take advantage of the rapid pace of technological advances in the industry. However, due to the nature of Defense equipment, COTS must be carefully evaluated and selected to mitigate the risks associated with entering government stockpile products that do not perform as intended or fail prematurely throughout their lifecycle. The present study develops an analytical framework to consolidate the prevailing research on COTS selection and evaluation for Defense use, identifies gaps, and proposes future research. We adopted a morphological analysis approach to systematically review the identified studies. We create a morphological structure with five dimensions specified by the Input-Process-Outcome (IPO) approach; it functions as a repository of the literature and allows the researcher to make changes as the literature portfolio grows, given its flexible representation and modularity.
