Using architecture Models to Understand Policy Impacts ncreas cost B-TOS Policy increases Swarm of small sats.3 launch probability doing observation Utility for mu of success

Architecture Trade space exploration A process for understanding complex solutions to complex problems Model-based high-level assessment of system capability Ideally, many architectures assessed Avoids optimized point solutions that will not support

System Concept Need (technology Pull Technologies can fulfill need or requirement a Technologies can overcome barriers(imitations, constraints, etc. Opportunity(Technology Push) a Technologies can Create Opportunities

Overview of Experiment Flight Conditions M=0.56.25000feet (Subsonic condition M=0.86.36000feef (Transonic condition) Nose-To-Tail (N2T) Distances

Overview Autonomous Formation Flight: NASA RevCo Program Boeing is currently engaged with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center on a technically ambitious project, Autonomous Formation Flight(AFF). The projects primary goal is to investigate potential benefits of flying aircraft in the aerodynamic wake vortex emanating

Commercial drivers Globalization trends Longer distances between producers and consumers Emerging markets, e.g. China, South America, Africa Lean manufacturing Focus on to eliminate waste, e.g. JIT Faster response to market demands

Subsystem Hazard Analysis Examine subsystems to determine how their -Normal performance Operational degradation Functional failure -Unintended function Inadvertent function(proper function but at wrong time or in wrong order)

Builds on PHA as a foundation (expands PHA) Considers system as a whole and identifies how system operation nterfaces and interactions between subsystems interface and interactions between system and operators component failures and normal (correct) behavior

The designers had no intention of ignoring the human factor. But the technological questions became so overwhelming that they commanded the most attention

Unfortunately, everyone had forgotten why the branch came off the top of the main and nobody realized that this was important
