ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This article proposes a process to manage the problem of electronic component obsolescence from a military product support perspective. By assessing applicable literature as well as feedback and lessons learned from relevant support projects, a methodology for the management of component obsolescence is proposed. The aim of the research is to provide a definition of component obsolescence drivers and to formulate a process for the management of component obsolescence within a military electronic support environment. The process provides guidelines on how management activities can be optimised to reduce applicable obsolescence risks and thereby reducing related life cycle costs.
