| Within the EOSDIS Core System, building prototypes and conducting studies are a valuable part of the project's design and development processes. Prototypes and studies at ECS are motivated by the need to mitigate risk, clarify requirements, enhance system functions and design, or to assess new technologies. |
In addition to internal prototyping activities, ECS also leads a collaborative prototyping program with academia, other government agencies and industry. Part of this effort includes assessing other prototypes for potential inclusion into an ECS testbed for review and insertion into the Incremental Track Development cycle.
