Search optimization techniques were used to explore which new innovation or technology to implement in a modular system upgrade amid many options. The model incorporates the expectation of future technologies or innovations, and the time-dependence value of module performance characteristics. A critical module performance characteristic mc is explored and calculated, and this will be the reference parameter the Systems Engineer will use when deciding to upgrade a modular system.
