The TPM-1 has been officially "end of lined", in other words all development has ceased. For the last couple of years the TPM-1 development has been on a low ebb as more and more resources have gone over to the TPM-2 but a team has continued to cascade TPM-2 improvements were possible and also fix any bugs.
The DDS have decided to stop this work as the number of TPM-1s still in DDS stocks is now below 2000 (most of the Canister TPMs) and the TPM-1 technology has reached its limit with TPM-2 advancements no longer cascadable. Reassigning the team and closing down the TPM-1 test rig and development jig will save DDS Research 1.2 million zarks a year.
