Software Components
- Wind River Simics

Impact #1	[Cost Reduction - R&D] TCO is reduced by eliminating hardware availability delays and bugs earlier in the development process.
Impact #2	[Process Optimization - Predictive Maintenance] Predictive maintenance are made possible by finding and fixing bugs faster, and enabling more hardware/software co-development.

Impact #1

[Cost Reduction - R&D]
TCO is reduced by eliminating hardware availability delays and bugs earlier in the development process.

Impact #2

[Process Optimization - Predictive Maintenance]
Predictive maintenance are made possible by finding and fixing bugs faster, and enabling more hardware/software co-development.

Benefit #1	By using Wind River Simics, 80% to 90% of the simulation models can be reused for other missions, representing tremendous cost savings for NASA.
Benefit #2	The ITC team reduces costs by 93% and can replicate a complete instance of the simulator in a few hours.
