A Study of Alternatives for VSTOL Computer Systems.

Abstract

This study assesses the impact of Large Scale Integration on future airborne digital systems, with a focus on the VSTOL systems. The study addresses the design, implementation, testing, servicing and the associated life cycle costs of airborne digital computer systems, both the hardware and the programs necessary for successful operation of the system. The scope of the study is limited to the computer system, not the sensors, keyboards, displays and other peripheral equipment. The study provides: information for decision making on the future course of action, a design philosophy, a process analysis methodology, and a life cycle cost analysis method. (Author)
