Air Force Avionics Standardization: an Assessment of System/Subsystem Standardization Opportunities.

Abstract

The following specific contractual tasks were defined for ARINC Research by Aeronautical Systems Division avionics planning directorate ASD/XRE: Task I; Provide Engineering Support in Preparation for Future INS Procurement Activities -- Perform the analyses and trade-off studies to support the Air Force INS Single Agency in the preparation of the RFP and source selection tools for use on the initial standard INS procurement. (This effort was limited to support during the RFP preparation phase only). Task II: Provide Engineering Support in Analyzing New Opportunities for Specification Development -- Investigate and analyze Air Force avionics requirements to determine the patterns, the extent of force applications, and the commonality of force needs. Organize data by class of equipment, quantities, timeframe, application, and other pertinent market survey parameters. Develop criteria for weighing standardization opportunities and ranking opportunities as they are identified. Task III: Provide Engineering Support to Develop, Refine, and Update Avionics Planning Baseline Document -- Perform the Analyses and data collection necessary to develop, refine, and update the Avionics Planning Baseline document.
