SOENCO was tasked with developing a replacement for an obsolete power and control unit used within a legacy ground-based radar system. The original electronics had been in service for decades, replacement assemblies were increasingly difficult to obtain, and much of the original engineering documentation was incomplete or no longer available.
Starting with existing production hardware, SOENCO reverse engineered the assembly to reconstruct the electrical design, document its interfaces, and determine the functionality required by the radar system. Obsolete and unavailable components were identified and replaced with modern alternatives while preserving the existing power, signal, mechanical, and control interfaces.
The resulting design provided a form, fit, and functional replacement for the original unit without requiring modification of the surrounding radar equipment. Updated schematics, design files, bills of materials, and manufacturing documentation established a new engineering baseline for continued production, maintenance, and future revisions.
