| In particular |
a large proportion of the interface
co-ordination communication |
must utilise and be functionally interwoven
with |
the sophisticated hardware |
| On the other hand |
a constant flow of effective information |
maximises the probability of project success
and minimises the cost and time required for |
the anticipated fourth generation equipment |
| However |
the characterisation of specific criteria |
adds explicit performance limits to |
the subsytem compatability testing |
| Similarly |
initiation of critical subsystem development |
necessitates that urgent consideration be
applied to |
the structual design, based on system
engineering concepts |
| As a resultant implication |
the fully integrated test program |
requires considerable systems analysis and
trade off studies to arrive at |
the preliminary qualification limit |
| In this regard |
the product configuration baseline |
is further compounded, when taking into
account of |
the evolution of specification over a given
time period |
| Based on integral subsystem considerations |
any associated supporting element |
present extremely interesting challenges to |
the philosophy of commonality and
standardisation |
| For example, |
the incorporation of additional mission
constraints |
recognises the importance of other systems
and the necessity for |
the greater fight worthiness |
| Thus, |
the independant functional principle |
affects a significant implementation to |
any discrete configuration mode |
| In respect to specific goals, |
a primary inter-relationship between system
and/or subsystem technologies |
adds overiding performance constraints to |
the total system rationale |
