Download or read book Aircraft Systems Integration of Air Launched Weapons written by Keith A. Rigby and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest days of aviation where the pilot would drop simple bombs by hand, to the highly agile, stealthy aircraft of today that can deliver smart ordnance with extreme accuracy, engineers have striven to develop the capability to deliver weapons against targets reliably, safely and with precision. Aircraft Systems Integration of Air-Launched Weapons introduces the various aspects of weapons integration, primarily from the aircraft systems integration viewpoint, but also considers key parts of the weapon and the desired interactions with the aircraft required for successful target engagement. Key features: Addresses the broad range of subjects that relate directly to the systems integration of air-launched weapons with aircraft, such as the integration process, system and subsystem architectures, the essential contribution that open, international standards have on improving interoperability and reducing integration costs and timescales Describes the recent history of how industry and bodies such as NATO have driven the need for greater interoperability between weapons and aircraft and worked to reduce the cost and timescales associated with the systems integration of complex air-launched weapons with aircraft Explores future initiatives and technologies relating to the reduction of systems integration costs and timescales The systems integration of air-launched weapons with aircraft requires a multi-disciplinary set of engineering capabilities. As a typical weapons integration life-cycle spans several years, new engineers have to learn the skills required by on-the-job training and working with experienced weapons integrators. Aircraft Systems Integration of Air-Launched Weapons augments hands-on experience, thereby enabling the development of subject matter expertise more quickly and in a broader context than would be achieved by working through the life-cycle on one specific project. This book also serves as a useful revision source for experienced engineers in the field.

Download or read book Weapons System Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Closed Loop Planning System for Weapon System Readiness written by Richard John Hillestad and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the U.S. Air Force does not have an effective way of allocating limited funding for depot-level repair across weapon systems and calculating the readiness implications of such allocations, this report describes a methodology, the Closed-Loop Planning System, that estimates the effect of depot repair funding allocations on aircraft availability.

Download or read book The Use of Prototypes in Weapon System Development written by Giles K. Smith and published by . This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the role of prototypes in the contemporary environment of weapon system acquisition. The research draws on case studies of four systems (two Air Force airplanes and two Army helicopters) that were developed in the early 1970s and that used prototypes in various ways. These were compared with a broad range of acquisition programs that used other acquisition strategies. The objective of the study is to sharpen the understanding of advantages and disadvantages of prototyping and conditions under which its use may be advantageous. Section II presents an outline of the different kinds of prototypes, and the various objectives that might be sought in a prototype phase. The section concludes with a description of the analysis procedure, a summary of the four systems examined, and the source of data on nonprototype programs used for comparison. Section III summarizes the results of the research, and Sec. IV contains the conclusions. Four appendixes are attached, each describing one of the case studies.

Download or read book Aircraft Weapon System Compatibility and Integration written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaponry is a central factor in any kind of military activity. The incorporation of weapon systems into aircraft and their integration and satisfactory operation is a topic of major importance to armed forces and manufacturers of weapons and aircraft alike. The scope of this symposium was to critically review the overall state-of-the-art in aircraft weapon system compatibility and integration and to illuminate possible paths for future development and provide beneficial ideas and experience. Sessions dealt with the following topics: Theoretical methods and modelling techniques, Experimental and flight test techniques, Integration processes and programmes, Addressing future challenges. This symposium produced many excellent papers providing broad coverage of the weapons integration issues. There were many common threads with regard to the analysis, wind tunnel testing, and flight testing. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is proving to be a useful technique; wind tunnel testing is very important in the weapons integration process; but, flight testing has to be the final phase of the weapons integration process. This symposium produced a level of cohesiveness between the analysts and testers; however, full agreement as to the mix of analysis and testing did not evolve. In order to reduce the cost of weapon integration, certification, clearance, and flight testing, weapon integration analytical techniques, including CFD and wind tunnel testing, and flight testing need to become more of an integrated process. The knowledge gained and information shared at this symposium should assist the participants in developing a more integrated process in order to provide NATO nations with fully integrated weapon systems at an affordable price.
