Abstract	The ATLAS Muon Drift Tube (MDT) ReadOut Drivers (MROD) have been in operation for more than 15 years and are expected to remain in operation until about 2026. In the event of extensive failures, the number of spare modules may be insufficient. This project proposes using the Front-End LInk eXchange (FELIX) system, a new component of the ATLAS data acquisition (DAQ) infrastructure, to provide an alternative solution for the readout of the MDTs during LHC Run 3.
