Selection of COTS Components in Commercial Aerospace:Advantages,Challenges and Countermeasures
In recent years,the commercial aerospace sector has experienced rapid development.Commercial Off-The-Shelf(COTS)components have gradually gained widespread application in this field due to their low cost,advanced technology,and abundant market supply.However,the extreme nature of the space environment and the high reliability requirements of missions present multiple challenges for COTS components,including environmental adaptability,quality and reliability,as well as compliance with regulations and standards.This paper explores the advantages of using COTS components in commercial aerospace and the main challenges they face.Furthermore,it proposes strategies to address these challenges through rigorous testing and screening,radiation hardening techniques,redundancy design,and supply chain management.Finally,it provides an outlook on the future development trends of COTS component applications.
