Book Description
The design requirements for future airborne weapon systems show an increasing drive towards improving their overall performance and flexibility whilst at the same time reducing the total weight and the resulting cost. These requirements generate the need for much closer integration of the subsystems which make up the total weapon system. This approach to total systems integration, forces the weapon system designer to look for improved design techniques which are capable of coping with the complexity and high interdependence of the various functions involved. This paper describes a structured approach to the design of highly integrated weapon systems of the future. The approach was used in the successful design and development of the avionics system for the UK Experimental Aircraft Programme (EAP) demonstrator aircraft. Brief descriptions are given of the EAP systems, the main system design tools used, the activities carried out during the systems design process and the management and control procedures adopted. NATO Furnished. (rh).

Weapons System Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309675855
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
According to the Government Accountability Office, sustainment of weapon systems accounts for approximately 70 percent of the total life-cycle costs. When sustainment is not considered early in the development process or as an integral part of the systems engineering design, it can negatively affect the ability of the Air Force to maintain and improve the weapon system once it enters service. At the request of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Weapons Systems Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle identifies at what point or phase of the development of a weapons system sustainment planning should be integrated into the program; examines and provides recommendations regarding how sustainment planning should be evaluated throughout the development process; investigates and describes the current challenges with sustainment planning and determines what changes have occurred throughout the acquisition process that may have eroded sustainment planning; and identifies opportunities for acquisitions offices to gain greater access to sustainment expertise.

Weapon System Costing Methodology for Aircraft Airframes and Basic Structures. Volume II. Supporting Design Synthesis Programs
Author: R. E. Kenyon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
This volume describes the supporting programs used in conjunction with a cost estimating program to provide a trade study cost estimating technique for aerodynamic surfaces. The supporting programs for the purpose of this discussion are defined as a structural synthesis program and a secondary structure synthesis program. The structural synthesis program is used for the analysis of primary structure and is called APAS (Automated Program for Aerospace-Vehicle Synthesis). The secondary structure synthesis program estimates geometry and weights, and performs parts definition for the aerodynamic surface leading edge, trailing edge, and tip components. The cost estimating adaptation is derived from programs originally developed under Independent research and development.

A Program Manager's Methodology for Developing Structured Design in Embedded Weapons Systems

Category :

Pages : 0
Book Description
This thesis demonstrates a methodology to be used by a Program Manager to allow him to procedurally monitor the design development of an embedded weapons system. The methodology consists of a unique combination of several software engineering strategies integrated to form a powerful management tool. The primary objective of the methodology is to provide an algorithmic procedure which stresses simplicity at all levels of abstraction. Further, the system must be capable of generating good system specifications, good documentation, and fully understandable products. Sample products from the implementation of the methodology on the HARPOON Shipboard Command-Launch Control Set (HSCLCS) are provided for illustrative purposes. (Author).
