Re-engineering is the re-analysis and re-design of a system; it could imply changes of various types and depth to a system, from a slight renovation to a total overhaul. It is an approach to migrate the existing legacy system towards an evolvable system in a disciplined manner.

The need to re-engineer may be motivated by a number of reasons these include tackling obsolescence, cost reductions, availability of superior algorithms, architectures, and technologies, the need for increasing functionality, processing and interface scalability, better form (size, weight, power, volume) requirements, decreased maintenance.

Mistral’s hardware design team has successfully executed projects in re-engineering that have helped customers in realizing quality improvements in operation, system capability, functionality, and performance. The team has the expertise and skill required for re-engineering the entire product, using an identical technology but incorporating the latest components. This process is usually done for either obsolescence or cost reduction. It is also used to reproduce a cost-effective alternative to ensure a competitive edge to end customers.

Typical customers requiring such re-engineering services are the users of medical and defense applications.
