Considerations in Applying Standard Electronics in Military Systems.

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of standardized electronics. This was done in terms of utilization of technology and cost and reliability impacts to a system. The intent is to aid program management in defining the areas that should be considered when deciding on unique or standardized electronics for their system. The basis for the study was experience gained in applying the Navy Standard Electronic Module program to the AN/BQQ-5and AN/BQQ-6sonar systems and information available from current DOD literature. The paper concludes that many elements of electronic standardization are attractive individually but some factors may be negative for some system applications. (Author)
