VUDRV Conceptual Design Issues for Resolution • Is a new or derivative aircraft the preferred solution? (depends on the time frame when the system must be operational) • The system is more than the vehicle; emphasis is on addressing the ‘system of systems’ • Strong emphasis must be placed on reconfigurability of the system for the different missions • Strong emphasis must be placed on automatic flight control and sensor sub-systems
Recommended Conceptual and Preliminary Design Approach • Should spend substantial more effort on completing the Conceptual Exploration and Design Effort • Need to reach a decision on new or derivative system for the air vehicle (suggest telecon with Andy Keith, Sikorsky) • Explore the use of the ASDL Mission and Unified Tradeoff Environment (UTE) for evaluating combinations of requirements, concepts and technologies (See Dr. Dan DeLaurentis, ASDL, A. Baker Ph.D Thesis)
Requirements (Mission) Space • Concept Space - vehicles attributes used as factors in DoE, built around baseline vehicle • Technology Space - technology metric dials used as factors in DoE, built around baseline vehicle • Mission Space • Compatibility with Concept Space and Technology Space • Mission requirements used as factors in DoE, built around baseline vehicle • Based on a Master Mission Structure which captures primary missions and provides reference point for understanding mission parameter effects on system sizing. • Allows capture of multiple missions and provides continuous mission space • Secondary missions flown after sizing to determine performance

Functionally Relating Responses and Inputs Top-Level requirements related to the mission Objective (O) or System Level Attribute (SLA) Vehicle Attribute Variables Response = fcn (Requirements, Concepts, Technologies) • Potentially large number of inputs; • To cope, evaluate response in “snapshots”, where most inputs are held constant while a subset of the inputs varies • Each “snapshot” computes “deltas” in responses with respect to a baseline • This approach allows the additive combination of the effects of concepts, technologies, and requirements on the decision-making space Technology Dials (related to product and/or process)
Unified Tradeoff Environment • What is needed is a design environment that allows the designer to assess the simultaneous impact of changes in mission requirements, vehicle attributes and technologies while being amenable to probabilistic techniques. • Whether constructed as an integrated environment or built from individual spaces this design environment is called the Unified Tradeoff Environment (UTE). • Integrated UTE • Multi-Space UTE • Most logical breakdown considers design spaces already created. • Concerns with multiple spaces.
