[Verse 1]
COTS insertion proposal on your desk tonight
Commercial tech seems tempting, price point feels right
But taxonomy reveals the hidden snares
Vendor lockdown, obsolescence, security nightmares
Map each element through the structured lens
Dependencies cascade where safety depends
[Chorus]
Field to capstone, make it real now
SCRM taxonomy shows us how
Trace the pathways, find the gaps
Every microchip, every map
Fifteen years deep, refresh the plan
Risk assessment, understand
[Verse 2]
Microelectronics journey starts with design phase
Foundry selection, masking, lithographic maze
Packaging assembly, test and qualification
Each handoff point needs risk examination
From silicon wafer to the final board
Counterfeit threats at every border
[Chorus]
Field to capstone, make it real now
SCRM taxonomy shows us how
Trace the pathways, find the gaps
Every microchip, every map
Fifteen years deep, refresh the plan
Risk assessment, understand
[Verse 3]
Weapon system aging, sustainment workshop time
Original suppliers vanished, past their prime
Diminishing sources, technology refresh
Legacy components failing, need new flesh
Taxonomy framework guides the mitigation
Fresh perspective for system preservation
[Bridge]
Three scenarios, one foundation
Risk taxonomy across the nation
COTS evaluation, micro deep dive
Sustainment planning keeps systems alive
[Chorus]
Field to capstone, make it real now
SCRM taxonomy shows us how
Trace the pathways, find the gaps
Every microchip, every map
Fifteen years deep, refresh the plan
Risk assessment, understand
[Outro]
From insertion to sustainment, risks evolve
Taxonomy framework helps you solve
Real world problems, structured thought
Defense supply chains, battles fought
