Book Description
From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand bomb blasts, the government is taking the lead in survivability standards. The extensively illustrated new edition of this book presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD military standards and acquisition processes.
A History of the Survivability Design of Military Aircraft

Book Description
In simple words, survivability in combat is achieved by not getting hit by the enemy's weapons or withstanding the effects of any hits suffered. The likelihood an aircraft gets hit while on a mission is referred to as the aircraft's susceptibility, and the likelihood the aircraft is killed by the hit is referred to as the aircraft's vulnerability. Reduction of aircraft susceptibility is achieved by: (1) the selection of the appropriate weapons, tactics, threat suppression, and support jamming for the mission, (2) reducing the aircraft's signatures, and (3) incorporating on-board threat warning equipment and countermeasures in the form of electromagnetic jammers and expendables. Reduction of aircraft vulnerability is achieved by: (1) the use of redundant flight critical components, adequately separated so that a single hit does not kill them all, (2) properly locating the critical components to reduce vulnerability, (3) designing the critical components, or adding equipment, to suppress the effects of any hits, and (4) shielding those components that cannot be protected otherwise. All of these concepts for enhancing survivability impact the design of the aircraft. The importance of survivability in the design of aircraft has varied throughout the 20th century from a total neglect to the highest priority. This paper presents the evolution of the survivability design of aircraft from the beginning of World War II to the present time.

Aircraft Combat Survivability Design Considerations and Vulnerability Analysis

Book Description
Survivability, capability, maintainability, and reliability will establish the effectiveness of a combat aircraft. Considerations for the 'ilities' must take place during the conceptual design phase. Retrofit of survivability enhancement has historically increased weight, drag, and cost, while decreasing capability and performance. Proper application of the six susceptibilty reduction concepts and the six vulnerability reduction concepts must take place before the design is established to maximize effectiveness and minimize penalties. In this thesis, the application of survivability enhancement techniques to the conceptual design is presented in general and also specifically applied to the design of a long range Strike Fighter aircraft. General guidelines for susceptibility and vulnerability reduction for any aircraft are also presented. (Author).

Pages : 247
Book Description
The proposition that innovation is critical in the cost-effective design and development of successful military aircraft is still subject to some debate. RAND research indicates that innovation is promoted by intense competition among three or more industry competitors. Given the critical policy importance of this issue in the current environment of drastic consolidation of the aerospace defense industry, the authors here examine the history of the major prime contractors in developing jet fighters since World War II. They make use of an extensive RAND database that includes nearly all jet fighters, fighter-attack aircraft, and bombers developed and flown by U.S. industry since 1945, as well as all related prototypes, modifications, upgrades, etc. The report concludes that (1) experience matters, because of the tendency to specialize and thus to develop system-specific expertise; (2) yet the most dramatic innovations and breakthroughs came from secondary or marginal players trying to compete with the industry leaders; and (3) dedicated military R&D conducted or directly funded by the U.S. government has been critical in the development of new higher-performance fighters and bombers.
