Abstract:
In some respects, an addition of a new or modified subsystem to a legacy platform can be more challenging that designing a new platform with the same subsystem. A legacy platform has a defined qualification baseline. This baseline covers platform structure, platform subsystems (ECS, Electrical, hydraulic, etc.), and environmental definitions (thermal, vibe, etc.). The basic platform body and subsystem integration design would likely have been based on defined mission profiles combined with weapon system design in order that the basic platform frame was optimized to meet all the imposed requirements.
The new or modified subsystem will need to fit into the constraints of the platform. Subsystem specifications will be driven by platform constraints while optimizing performance of the subsystem within these constraints. Changes of the legacy platform pose a compromise to the platform’s baseline qualification. When the platform’s baseline qualification is compromised, the re-qualification of the platform with respect to the change becomes necessary.
The technical thought put into program planning typically focuses on the new or modified system components without adequate planning for completion of the installation design. More visibility into the installation design process and flow would provide program and technical managers with the needed insight to plan less risky program timelines and reduce risk associated with platform installation requirements. The intent of the discussion is to address the platform efforts and flow of design information to more efficiently support platform modifications.
