In former days, Mission Critical was a terminology assigned to a product. The design, the production and maintenance of the product was done in such a way as to ensure the product could provide its full capability within the boundaries of its scope.
Nowadays, this statement is still valid. However, the battlefield has become a complex architecture of interoperable Mission Critical systems running Artificial Intelligence, sourced from different vendors. The difficulty to maintain Mission Critical systems becomes very challenging.
While Mission Critical systems seem to remain a mandatory technological requirement, the recent conflicts have demonstrated how the usage of non Mission Critical items can strongly disrupt the course of operations.
Technology or Methodology, where is the future era of Mission Critical systems ?
