Abstract: Many large and complex systems have extended operational lives. Examples of such systems include the oil and gas drilling systems, defense systems, and air traffic control systems. A growing concern for many users is the difference between actual and intended system performance during the operational life. An understanding of the root causes of that gap, known as performance capability gap, is required if appropriate measures are to be taken. This paper explores the main reasons for the existence of the performance capability gap and suggests the combination of performance‐based logistics and technology refreshment programs as a very effective and efficient remedial strategy. The paper examines the Spanish F‐100 frigate to illustrate actual application of these strategies. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 15
