Abstract
Rapid obsolescence is often a consequence of rapid technology development. Modern warships are operating in an era of increased technological development, with complex systems having a redevelopment cycle significantly shorter than the lifetime of the ship. The Autonomous Warship concept is one such area and designers must take this rapid development into account to ensure Navies remain at the forefront of technology without early systems experiencing a tsunami of obsolescence. Obsolescence must be considered early in the life cycle of AI and its connected systems to reduce the amount of redundant technology in the future. Advances in AI and mechatronics result in capability improvements, but also increase obsolescence driven waste and supportability issues. This means that effective, proactive obsolescence management is more important than ever to maintain capability, reduce environmental waste and eliminate unnecessary costs. This paper will seek to outline options to increase system adaptability and reduce the looming obsolescence risks of technological advancement.
