From the earliest days of aviation where the pilot would drop simple bombs by hand,
to the highly agile, stealthy aircraft of today that can deliver smart ordnance with
extreme accuracy, engineers have striven to develop the capability to deliver weapons
against targets reliably, safely and with precision. Aircraft Systems Integration
of Air-Launched Weapons introduces the various aspects of weapons integration, primarily
from the aircraft systems integration viewpoint, but also considers key parts of the
weapon and the desired interactions with the aircraft required for successful target
engagement. Key features: -Addresses the broad range of subjects that relate directly
to the systems integration of air-launched weapons with aircraft, such as the integration
process, system and subsystemarchitectures, the essential contribution that open,
international standards have onimproving interoperability and reducing integration
costs and timescales -Describes the recent history of how industry and bodies such
as NATO have driven the needfor greater interoperability between weapons and aircraft
and worked to reduce the cost andtimescales associated with the systems integration
of complex air-launched weapons withaircraft -Explores future initiatives and technologies
relating to the reduction of systems integrationcosts and timescales The systems integration
of air-launched weapons with aircraft requires a multi-disciplinary set of engineering
capabilities. As a typical weapons integration life-cycle spans several years, new
engineers have to learn the skills required by on-the-job training and working with
experienced weapons integrators. Aircraft Systems Integration of Air-Launched Weapons
augments hands-on experience, thereby enabling the development of subject matter expertise
more quickly and in a broader context than would be achieved by working through the
life-cycle on one specific project. This book also serves as a useful revision source
for experienced engineers in the field
