Abstract. In this paper we report on our experiences in transitioning from an application framework for Command and Control systems to a product line engineering approach. The application framework has been developed in the context of Havelsan, a large company in Turkish defense industry. Large investments have been undertaken in the framework development to support gross-level reuse of command control systems. We report on the obstacles of the application framework for supporting large scale reuse, explore the business case for transitioning the framework to a product line engineering approach, and provide the lessons learned in the overall process.
