An Industry Survey on Managing the Timely Introduction and Utilization of Large Scale Integrated Circuits in Military Avionics.

Abstract

This report presents the results of an industry survey coordinated by the Naval Avionics Center to obtain information on issues involved in managing the timely introduction and utilization of large scale integrated (LSI) circuits in military avionics equipment. Responses were received from individuals in many companies representing semiconductor manufacturers, avionics equipment suppliers, and airframe contractors. The responses covered a wide range of issues involving LSI usage in military avionics, including LSI device introduction; device obsolescence; LSI specifications; testing and qualification; technologies needing Naval Air Systems Command development support; needed changes in MIL-specifications, standards, etc.; procurement practices; and standardization. Comments and suggestions receiving various degrees of concurrence among the respondents are identified and discussed. Detailed answers of the respondents to the survey questions are also included.
